What is a .NMA file?
A .NMA file is a binary animation file format developed by 2D-Inc. It is used to store animation data for 2D games, motion graphics, and augmented reality and virtual reality experiences. .NMA files can be used in a variety of animation software, including Unity and Spine.
.NMA files contain data about the animation's bones, meshes, and animations. They also contain information about the animation's timing and playback. .NMA files are typically much smaller than other animation formats, such as JSON and GIF. This makes them ideal for sharing and distributing animations.
Here are some of the benefits of using .NMA files:
- They are small and efficient, making them ideal for sharing and distributing animations.
- They are supported by a variety of animation software.
- They are versatile and can be used for a variety of animation purposes, such as 2D games, motion graphics, and augmented reality and virtual reality experiences.
If you are working with animation, .NMA files are a great option to consider. They are small, efficient, and versatile.
How to open a .NMA file
To open a .NMA file, you need to use an animation software that supports the .NMA file format. Two popular animation software that support .NMA files are Unity and Spine.
To open a .NMA file in Unity:
- Open Unity and create a new project.
- Click on the Assets menu and select Import Asset.
- Navigate to the location of the .NMA file and select it.
- Click on the Open button.
Unity will import the .NMA file and create a new asset in the Project window.
To open a .NMA file in Spine:
- Open Spine and create a new project.
- Click on the File menu and select Import.
- Navigate to the location of the .NMA file and select it.
- Click on the Open button.
Spine will import the .NMA file and create a new animation in the Project window.
How to convert a .NMA file
To convert a .NMA file to another animation format, you can use a variety of online and offline tools. One popular online tool for converting .NMA files is Convertio.
To convert a .NMA file using Convertio:
- Go to the Convertio website.
- Click on the Choose Files button and select the .NMA file you want to convert.
- Select the animation format you want to convert the .NMA file to.
- Click on the Convert button.
Convertio will convert the .NMA file to the selected animation format and provide you with a download link.
How to import a .NMA file into Unity
To import a .NMA file into Unity, follow these steps:
- Open Unity and create a new project.
- Click on the Assets menu and select Import Asset.
- Navigate to the location of the .NMA file and select it.
- Click on the Open button.
Unity will import the .NMA file and create a new asset in the Project window.
Once the .NMA file is imported, you can drag and drop it into the Scene window to create a new GameObject. The GameObject will contain the .NMA file's animation data.
You can then play the animation by clicking on the Play button in the Game window.
How to export a .NMA file from Spine
To export a .NMA file from Spine, follow these steps:
- Open Spine and open the project that contains the animation you want to export.
- Click on the File menu and select Export.
- Select the NMA file format.
- Click on the Export button.
Spine will export the animation to a .NMA file.
How to fix a corrupted .NMA file
If you have a corrupted .NMA file, there are a few things you can try to fix it:
- Try opening the .NMA file in a different animation software. If the .NMA file opens in the other animation software, then the problem is with the original animation software.
- Try converting the .NMA file to another animation format and then converting it back to .NMA format. This can sometimes fix minor corruption in .NMA files.
- If you are unable to fix the corrupted .NMA file, you may need to recreate the animation from scratch.
