Extract text from 3D models and skins (SKI)
To convert SKI models and skins to another format, you need Autodesk 3ds Max or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Model File" file type, you need software like Autodesk 3ds Max or a similar tool.
A .ski file is primarily a proprietary 3D model format associated with the Angelica Engine, developed by Perfect World Entertainment. These files store "skinned" meshes, which map 3D geometry to a skeletal bone structure (often found in separate .bon files) to enable character animation in MMORPGs like Perfect World International and Jade Dynasty.
Because .ski files are optimized strictly for the game engine, they are essentially "locked" to the average user. You cannot simply double-click to view them, nor can you import them directly into standard tools like Blender or Unity without specialized community-made scripts or plugins. Furthermore, they are often compressed within larger package archives (PCK files), making access even more tedious.
To use these models for 3D printing, rendering, or modding, the most practical workflow is converting them to widely supported exchange formats.
*Note: In rare legacy cases, a .ski file may be an interface theme for older Motorola mobile phones. These are simple archives that should be converted to ZIP to extract the images inside.*
Convert.Guru analyzes your SKI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted NVX2, PT and RBXM files.
If you want to convert SKI file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Autodesk 3ds Max or similar software from the "Skinned 3D Model" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to SKI, try Autodesk 3ds Max or another comparable tool in the "Skinned 3D Model" 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 SKI converter.
