Extract text from Wings 3D projects (WINGS)
To convert WINGS projects to another format, you need Wings 3D or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "Modeling Project" file type, you need software like Wings 3D or a similar tool.
A .WINGS file is the native project format for Wings 3D, an advanced subdivision modeler built using the Erlang programming language. Unlike universal interchange formats, this file saves the complete application state, including mesh topology, edge hardness, UV coordinates, and material definitions specific to the Wings environment.
A major limitation with .WINGS files is their lack of interoperability. Because Wings 3D is written in Erlang, the file is essentially a dump of Erlang terms, making it virtually unreadable by standard 3D loaders in Blender, Autodesk Maya, or game engines like Unity. You typically cannot simply "import" a .wings file into other software.
To use these assets in a broader production pipeline, conversion is mandatory. For static geometry, converting to OBJ (Wavefront) is the industry standard for maximum compatibility. For assets requiring skeletal data or scene hierarchy, FBX is the preferred target. If you intend to use the model for 3D printing, the data must be exported or converted to STL.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WINGS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OBJ, GLB, FBX, STL, ZIP, SCW, PLY and XAC files.
If you want to convert WINGS file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use Wings 3D or similar software from the "3D Subdivision Modeling" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to WINGS, try Wings 3D or another comparable tool in the "3D Subdivision Modeling" 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 WINGS converter.
