The GR2 (Granny 3D File) file extension is used by Granny 3D as a native file format for storing 3D models, animation and other assets. This format uses binary encoding for small file size and efficient data manipulation. The GR2 file stores detailed information about the 3D model, animation and textures. As well as being used by Granny 3D, the GR2 file format can be imported into other major 3D modeling software such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Unity 3D and Maya.
GR2 File Format
The GR2 file format is quite complex containing multiple data ranges for each 3D model. Each range contains different types of data such as models, animations, textures, materials and other properties. The ranges are stored in a binary layout which greatly reduces the size of the file and enables efficient access of data. The range details are also encrypted which adds an extra layer of privacy and security. The GR2 file includes all geometrical data necessary for creating and manipulating a 3D model, including vertices, faces, normals, uv-mappings and skeleton bones. It also supports different types of textures images such as BMP, JPEG and PNG which are embedded into the file along with their compression settings. Other features supported in the GR2 format include motion blend trees for animation and some basic physics information.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GR2) 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 .GR2 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 .GR2 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 .GR2 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 .GR2 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GR2 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GR2 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 .GR2 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GR2 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .GR2 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
