What is a .FACEFX file?

The .FACEFX file extension is used for a type of 3D model file. These files are made with a program called FaceFX. FaceFX is special software that helps create facial animations by using sound. Imagine someone talking or making faces, and FaceFX helps make those expressions look real on a computer character.

In a .FACEFX file, you can find information like the 3D positions of facial bones, connections between different parts of the face, and the specific movements (animation keys) that make the face express emotions or speak. This is very useful in video games because it makes the characters look more lifelike when they talk or react.

To open or work with .FACEFX files, you can use the program OC3 Entertainment FaceFX. If you are working on 3D modeling or animation, you might be using software like Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, or Autodesk MotionBuilder. These programs can also handle .FACEFX files if you add a special FaceFX plugin to them. This means you can create or change facial animations right inside these popular 3D programs.

After you finish making a character's facial animations, you can change the .FACEFX file into a .FACEFX_INGAME file. This new file is smaller because it doesn't have some of the extra information that's not needed for the game. This makes the game run smoother because it doesn't have to use as much computer power to show the animations.

FaceFX has been used to make characters in many famous video games look more real. Some of these games include Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Halo 3, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Unreal Tournament 3, and Guitar Hero 2. This shows how important and popular FaceFX is in the world of video game design.
