What is a QCI file?

QCI files mostly belong to Source Filmmaker. QCI files come in different forms. Their main use is to store bone definition data for animation in the Source Engine. This means they carry skeletal structure information used in tools like Source Filmmaker to define models for animation.
  • Game Animation: In the game pipeline, these files help set up and control character movement. They are used in Source Filmmaker and in mods like Garry's Mod. Some of these files, for instance, use an internal Source2 format for animation sequences.
  • Technical Calibration: In other cases, a QCI file can hold inspection or calibration data. Here it appears as a Qualcomm Calibration Information file, such as reports used in wafer inspection.
  • FilExt.com notes: Use the proper tool to open these files. For game-related QCI files, use the software (e.g., Source Filmmaker or tools like Crowbar). For calibration files, specialized engineering software is needed. More details on the game pipelines are available at Source Filmmaker.
