The af file extension is associated with 3DPlus, a 3D drawing application for Microsoft Windows. The software was produced by Serif Europe.
An af file contains a 3D model and its appearance settings. In 3DPlus, users can apply textures, colours and bevels to complex clip-art objects, with separate material controls for the front, sides and back.
The format belongs to the 3DPlus software workflow and is now obsolete. It is not a general-purpose 3D exchange format, so current 3D applications may not be able to read it directly.
Use 3DPlus on Microsoft Windows to open an af file. Because the format is obsolete, the original application may be required if a compatible viewer is not available.
3DPlus can transform af files to other formats using its available export or save functions. The practical conversion options depend on the version of 3DPlus and the destination formats it supports.
