What is a .GTX file?
A .GTX file is a special type of file that is used in video games made for the Wii U gaming console. Think of it as a digital piece of cloth or pattern that is wrapped around the shapes of things you see in the game, like characters, objects, or landscapes, to make them look real and detailed. This is what we call "skinning" a 3D model in the gaming world.
However, if you try to open a .GTX file just like you would with a picture or a document, you won't be able to see what's inside it. This is because it's not meant to be viewed directly by people but by the game's software.
But, there's a workaround if you really want to see or use the textures in these files. You can convert the .GTX file into a .DDS file. The .DDS format is more common and can be opened with various image editing programs. This conversion lets you see and maybe even edit the textures used in Wii U games.
To do this conversion or to work with .GTX files in any way, you would need a specific tool called "GTX Extractor." This program is designed to handle .GTX files specifically, allowing you to extract or convert the textures stored within them.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .GTX file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
