Overview

What is a BCMDL file? A BCMDL file is a 3D model used by a Nintendo 3DS video game. It is used to show a character, vehicle, or other object in-game. Each BCMDL file contains a model's wireframe, textures, camera data, and animation data (if the model is animated).

More Information Nintendo 3DS games use assets saved in a variety of proprietary file formats. The BCMDL format (also known as .BCRES and CGFX) is used to store 3D models of in-game characters, terrain, and items. Each BCMDL file also contains camera data, which a game uses to show the 3D model correctly from different camera angles. If the model is animated, the BCMDL file will also contain the model's animation data.
