What is a B3D file?
B3D is a file extension mainly associated with 3D graphics processing software called BodyPaint 3D. B3D files are used to store graphic designs made in the program. This is the default graphic format for BodyPaint 3D.
BodyPaint 3D is a tool developed by MAXON Computer GmbH that is often used by artists to create high-quality textures and models.

How to open B3D files
If you cannot open the B3D file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports B3D among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the B3D file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the B3D format files
The inability to open and operate the B3D file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the BodyPaint 3D Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a B3D file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the B3D file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the B3D from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the B3D format
- The B3D file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the B3D file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a B3D file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the B3D file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the B3D file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the B3D file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.B3D) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected B3D file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the B3D file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. B3D) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
