Extract text from BioWare model hierarchy files (MMH)
To convert MMH hierarchy files to another format, you need Dragon Age Toolset or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Asset" file type, you need software like Dragon Age Toolset or a similar tool.
The .MMH file type is the Model Mesh Hierarchy format, a proprietary 3D structure definition used primarily by BioWare in the Eclipse Engine for games like Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II. Unlike standard 3D files, an .MMH file does not contain the actual polygon geometry itself; instead, it acts as a skeleton or blueprint, defining how separate mesh files (Model SHapes or MSH) are assembled, positioned, and animated within the game world.
Because this format is locked to BioWare's internal architecture, users frequently experience issues when trying to mod or archive game assets. You cannot open these files in Blender or Autodesk 3ds Max natively. Furthermore, an .MMH file is useless in isolation - it requires the associated MSH (geometry), .MAO (material), and PHY (physics) files to render correctly. To edit these assets for modding or 3D printing, you must convert the hierarchy and its dependencies into a universal interchange format. For standard 3D editing, converting to FBX is the gold standard as it preserves bone hierarchies and rigging. For static archiving or simple web viewing, converting to OBJ is recommended, though you will lose animation data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MMH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert MMH file to , you can use Dragon Age Toolset or similar software from the "3D Model Hierarchy Definition" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to MMH, try Dragon Age Toolset or another comparable tool in the "3D Model Hierarchy Definition" 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 MMH converter.
