The IGM file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the IGM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the IGM file on each system platform.
What is IGM file?
The IGM file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. It was designed by Glare Technologies. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. Indigo Renderer Material Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Indigo Renderer. This was created by Glare Technologies Limited. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open IGM file?
An often recurring problem with Indigo Renderer Material Format is that IGM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open IGM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IGM 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 Indigo Renderer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Indigo Renderer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Indigo Renderer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IGM with Indigo Renderer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IGM files.
Programs to open IGM file
Remember to download programs supporting IGM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Indigo Renderer with IGM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IGM file to open in the Indigo Renderer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IGM file with the Indigo Renderer application.
Step 3. Update Indigo Renderer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Indigo Renderer with Indigo Renderer Material Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Glare Technologies Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IGM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The IGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IGM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IGM file. However, remember that not every infected IGM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IGM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IGM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Glare Technologies
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IGM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the IGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IGM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IGM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
