About MMH files

The .mmh file is a proprietary 3D model hierarchy format utilized primarily in BioWare role-playing games like Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights. It dictates the skeletal structure, rigging, and node hierarchies for character and object models within the game engine. Users typically encounter these files when extracting game assets to create custom mods or port characters to other platforms. To open or manipulate these files natively, modders must rely on niche, community-maintained software such as the Dragon Age Toolset or various plugins hosted on the Neverwinter Vault. The core disadvantage of the .mmh format is its closed, deeply proprietary nature. Standard 3D suites like Blender or Autodesk Maya cannot read these files without heavily outdated, fan-made import scripts that frequently fail on modern operating systems. Furthermore, .mmh files only hold the skeletal hierarchy; the actual mesh geometry is stored separately in msh files, making file management incredibly cumbersome. If you need to edit these models in industry-standard software, converting the .mmh pair to universally accepted formats like FBX, DAE (Collada), or OBJ is strictly necessary. Be aware that exporting to OBJ will permanently destroy all skeletal rigging and animation nodes, leaving you with only static geometry. Because .mmh is an undocumented game asset format, standard online converters universally fail to process it. Only the original engine tools or dedicated community parsers can cleanly reconstruct and export the data. However, you can drag and drop your file into convert.guru to see what it is and convert it if supported. Our platform will inspect the binary structure, display internal strings, and if a supported embedded format is detected, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your MMH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The MMH Converter Story

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 MMH converter.
