The .3DL file extension is used by the LightConverse software package for 3D modeling. It is a proprietary format used specifically in this software, thereby limiting its usefulness outside of the LightConverse platform. With this format, files may include three-dimensional meshes, textures, and light conversions for the purpose of animation resources. It can also store curves, patches, and other four-dimensional objects.
Supported Features and Versions
Interactivity can be saved as a 3DL file, allowing users better control over texture characteristics. While LightConverse supports older versions of the 3DL fileformat, the current version carries support for mobile devices as well. Additionally, since the 3DL file type is widely supported by popular operating systems, its inclusion in games has become more frequent. Character design properties in rendering programs can also be stored as 3DL files for later use.
Other Related File Types
Similar to the .3DL file extension are other proprietary formats from other software packages like .MAX, .LWS, and .MB. For changing or converting existing 3DL files to other file formats, the LightConverse Export Utility provides options for exporting them to a number of different compatible formats.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .3DL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .3DL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .3DL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .3DL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .3DL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .3DL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .3DL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .3DL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .3DL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .3DL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
