What is DFF file?
The DFF file extension is associated with 3D models created using the RenderWare Model File. These files are used to store three-dimensional objects and models for Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and other related games, as well as 3D modeling software like Autodesk 3ds Max. This type of file also includes textures, lighting information, and any other object manipulation commands associated with 3D objects. [ ⏩ ] DFF file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from Z3D to DFF?
To successfully convert the Z3D file to DFF, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.Z3D). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DFF (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DFF).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. Z3D to DFF. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting Z3D files to DFF files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DFF, while before this step we had the Z3D file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DFF file, or not.
