What is a .OC3 file?
The .OC3 file is a type of file that is made by a drawing program called openCanvas 3. This program is special because it lets people record the actions they take while drawing, like the strokes of a brush, and then play those actions back later. Think of it like recording a video of your drawing process, but instead of a video, it records the steps you took to make the drawing. The .OC3 file keeps a record of these steps, but it doesn't actually keep the picture you made. The picture itself is saved in a different kind of file, called an .OCI file.
To open a .OC3 file, you need to use the openCanvas program, specifically version 3 or later versions like openCanvas 5. This means if you have openCanvas 5, you can still open and view .OC3 files without any problems. openCanvas lets you see the drawing process that was recorded in the .OC3 file, which can be really helpful for learning new drawing techniques or just watching how a piece of art was created step by step.
Besides .OC3 files, there are also .OC4 and .OC5 files. These are similar to .OC3 files but are created by newer versions of openCanvas, specifically versions 4 and 5. Each version of the program has its own type of event file, but they all serve the same purpose: to record and replay the drawing process.
