The PIGM file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PIGM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PIGM file on each system platform.
What is PIGM file?
The PIGM file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. It was designed by Glare Technologies. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Packaged Indigo Renderer Material Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the PIGM file. Indigo Renderer will apply when it is not possible to use Indigo RT.
How to open PIGM file?
An often recurring problem with Packaged Indigo Renderer Material Format is that PIGM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PIGM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PIGM 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 RT
In this case, you should first verify that the Indigo RT application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Indigo RT in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PIGM.
Programs to open PIGM file
Remember to download programs supporting PIGM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Indigo RT with PIGM files
If, despite the installed application, the PIGM file does not start in the Indigo RT application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PIGM file with the Indigo RT application.
Step 3. Update Indigo RT to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Indigo RT program with the Packaged Indigo Renderer Material Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIGM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PIGM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PIGM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PIGM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PIGM 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PIGM file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PIGM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PIGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PIGM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PIGM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
