Autodesk Softimage was 3D modeling and animation software from Autodesk for Microsoft Windows. An hrc file contains a 3D model created or saved in Softimage.
The format is intended for use within the Softimage workflow rather than as a general-purpose document format. The file can preserve model data for further work in the application.
Softimage is discontinued, so HRC files are now mainly encountered in older 3D projects. The format remains associated with legacy Windows-based Softimage installations and compatible conversion tools.
On Microsoft Windows, open the file with Autodesk Softimage if it is available. IVCon can also read HRC model files where its HRC support is applicable.
Because Softimage is discontinued, opening the file may require an older compatible installation of the software.
Autodesk Softimage can export model data to other supported 3D formats. IVCon can also be used to convert HRC files to formats that it supports.
The available output formats depend on the application and may not preserve every Softimage-specific feature.

The hrc file extension is associated with OpenOffice.org, the open-source office suite. HRC files are plain-text include headers used in the suite's programming and build process.
An HRC file can contain shared constants, identifiers, resource definitions, and other declarations included by related source or resource files. It is normally part of the OpenOffice.org source tree rather than a file opened directly by an end user.
An HRC file is a text-based source file. Open it with a plain-text editor or a programming editor, such as the editor included with a development environment.
It is normally used within an OpenOffice.org source tree and is not opened through the office suite's document interface.
HRC files are not normally converted because they are source-code include files, not documents in a user-facing format. Their contents must remain compatible with the source files that include them.
A text editor can save a copy as plain text, but changing the file extension does not convert the file. Developers who need a different format generally recreate the relevant definitions manually for the target project.
