The MESH file extension is used by computer applications developed with the help of DirectX Tools, a set of software development tools developed by Microsoft. The MESH file format was developed as an optimized three-dimensional (3D) modeling and animation file format for Windows operating systems. It stores a variety of 3D object information ranging from shape to color, material and lighting information.
Features of MESH Format
The MESH format is generally smaller than many other 3D file formats, and also enables removal of redundant information from a model. This allows for the efficient storage and sharing of optimized 3D models. It also makes use of vertex animation, which allows for efficient storage and character animation controlled by a low number of key frames. Additionally, it supports multiple subdivision levels that can be used in real-time to render a basic or highly detailed 3D model with a large number of polygons. The MESH file format has been replaced by the X Files, which are now considered the standard.
Related File Formats
Also included within the Microsoft DirectX Standard are related file formats such as .X, .XCF, .XAF, .XWF, .XSF, and XVB. These files are also used in 3D animation development.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MESH) 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 .MESH 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 .MESH 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 .MESH 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 .MESH extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MESH file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MESH 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 .MESH file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MESH file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MESH file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
