Extract text from Face data files (FCE)
To convert FCE Data files to another format, you need FaceGen Modeller or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Facial Parameter File" file type, you need software like FaceGen Modeller or a similar tool.
The .fce extension represents a classic file format conflict, serving two distinct, proprietary industries that are incompatible with standard tools. Primarily, it acts as a Face Data File within the 3D modeling and gaming sectors, utilized by software like FaceGen Modeller or the historical strategy game Sangokushi 11. In this context, the file contains parametric definitions - morph targets and muscle animation data - rather than a static 3D mesh. This creates a significant bottleneck: users cannot directly import an .fce file into standard tools like Blender or Unity. To utilize these assets in modern rendering pipelines, they must be converted into interchange formats like OBJ (for geometry) or JPG (for textures).
Secondly, .fce files act as Topographic Survey Data containers for civil engineering tools like TopoLT and Geostru. These files store critical vector lines and coordinate points. The friction arises when sharing data with architects or clients who rely on AutoCAD or generic viewers; the proprietary .fce structure is often unreadable outside its native environment. For collaboration and documentation, the standard workflow involves converting these survey files to DXF for CAD editing, CSV for data analysis, or PDF for archival printing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FCE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PHC, XAD and TOC files.
If you want to convert FCE file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use FaceGen Modeller or similar software from the "Face Animation & Survey Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to FCE, try FaceGen Modeller or another comparable tool in the "Face Animation & Survey Data" 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 FCE converter.
