How to open FFSHAPE file?
The main problem with FaceFilter Shape Format is that the FFSHAPE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FFSHAPE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFSHAPE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FaceFilter
The first step is to check if the computer has the FaceFilter program installed. To do this, enter the name FaceFilter into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FFSHAPE files.
Programs to open FFSHAPE file
Remember to download programs supporting FFSHAPE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FaceFilter with FFSHAPE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FFSHAPE file still does not use the FaceFilter program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FFSHAPE file with the FaceFilter application.
Step 3. Update FaceFilter to the latest version
If, however, after binding FaceFilter with FaceFilter Shape Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Reallusion Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFSHAPE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FFSHAPE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FFSHAPE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FFSHAPE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FFSHAPE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FFSHAPE file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FFSHAPE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FFSHAPE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FFSHAPE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FFSHAPE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FFSHAPE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
