ANM (3D Animation File) is a file extension used for animation graphics created in TrueSpace by Caligari, a software application for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. This file format is widely used by 3D graphic artists, animators, and video game developers to create 3D graphics and complex animations. The ANM file extension stores visual objects along with associated resources like viewers, lights, cameras, texture maps and cameras.
The ANM (3D Animation File) is composed of various elements such as meshes, textures, dynamic objects, and Kinematics animations which are combined to produce a 3D object or animation. The file format also supports various features such as motion capture & the ability to import/export .ASE, .OBJ, .DXF, and .LWO formats. ANM (3D Animation Files) can be opened with TrueSpace 3D software as well as other 3D Picture Viewers.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ANM) 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 .ANM 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 .ANM 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 .ANM 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 .ANM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ANM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ANM 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 .ANM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ANM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ANM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
