What is a PCACHE file? A PCACHE file is a point cache file. It contains a list of points that comprise a 2D or 3D object. PCACHE files are similar to .PLY files but used primarily by video game developers.

More Information Video game developers can save a description of a 2D or 3D object as a PCACHE file. For example, Unity users can use that program's pCache Tool to create PCACHE meshes and textures. Each PCACHE file contains a list of points that comprise the object the file describes. Each point may have position, velocity, color, size, age, and lifetime data associated with it. The point data PCACHE files contain may be saved in an ASCII or binary format. Either way, the file's header will begin with the text pcache . NOTE: The PCACHE format is open-source and maintained by developer Thomas Iché.
