What is a .3DA file?
A .3DA file is a type of computer file that is used to store a three-dimensional (3D) model. These models are created using special computer programs that allow designers to build and shape objects in a 3D space. The .3DA file format is unique because it saves the model's information in plain text. This means that if you open a .3DA file with a text editor, you will see lines of text. Each line describes the points (called vertices) that make up the surface of the 3D object. By connecting these points, the shape of the object is formed.
To work with .3DA files, you need specific software programs. Two examples of programs that can open and handle .3DA files are AeroHydro SurfaceWorks and Zanoza ZModeler. These programs allow you to view, edit, or create new 3D models stored in .3DA files.
Additionally, .3DA files are associated with the ChromEd game engine developed by Techland. This game engine has been used to create video games, including GTI Racing. In this context, .3DA files would be used to design and store the 3D models for objects, characters, or environments within the game.
