Extract text from 3D models and Delphi files (DOF)
To convert DOF files to another format, you need Live for Speed or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary 3D Model" file type, you need software like Live for Speed or a similar tool.
A .dof file primarily functions as a 3D car model or geometry file used by racing simulators like Live for Speed and Racer Free Car Simulator. In a completely different context, it serves as a project options file for Embarcadero Delphi, storing compiler settings and directory configurations. Other uses include game map data for Silkroad Online, deformation fields for FSL medical imaging, and data object logs for dSPACE ControlDesk.
The main disadvantage of .dof files is their highly fragmented and proprietary nature. A 3D model .dof from a racing game cannot be natively opened in standard 3D software without community-made importer plugins. Similarly, Delphi .dof files are specific to older versions of the IDE. Users typically want to convert game .dof files to standard 3D formats like OBJ or FBX for editing, or read Delphi settings as plain TXT.
Unfortunately, this file format is notoriously difficult to convert because the internal structure changes entirely depending on the software that created it. Game developers purposefully use closed binary structures to protect their assets from unauthorized ripping. Often, only the original software or specialized community scripts can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects standard text (like in Delphi files) or an embedded standard format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DOF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted IFP, PHS and AMD files.
If you want to convert DOF file to , you can use Live for Speed or similar software from the "Game 3D Model & Settings" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to DOF, try Live for Speed or another comparable tool in the "Game 3D Model & Settings" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DOF converter.
