π One more obvious assignment of the .CMF technique tightly concerns the backup file generated by Connected Backup, a toolkit applied for creating secure remote and local backups of internal computer data. Particularly, the .CMF arrangement stores backed up content in a secure proprietary shape. After all, the .CMF extension mechanics may considerably reduce the outcome size of the backup content, but may still be very large in size ratio. .CMF file samples are perfectly eligible for backing up electronic correspondence content from IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook suites. EmailOptimizer (EMO), the integral component of the predefined software, stores the backup .CMF content in the custom locations in Windows environment, i.e.: [user]\Email Backup Optimization\Data or C:\ProgramData\Email Backup Optimization\Data\Mail\ folders.
π Primarily, the .CMF pattern is associated with the polygonal three-dimensional mesh entry composed and opened up by Cal3D, an adaptable library for realistic character animation authored in C++. In detail, the .CMF arrangement stores the 3D geometry of an appropriately designed character using polygons with the foundation of corresponding edges and nodes. In the meantime, the current .CMF layout is utilized for structuring the particular character. It should be miscellaneously noted that Cal3D meshes can also be sustained and processed in an XML representation due to interaction of .XMF format technology.
π One more possible variation of the .CMF entity structure is associated with the audio file layout tailored by Creative Labs organization. This custom .CMF schema is invented to be used with Creative software and Creative Sound Blaster sound devices. Finally, the .CMS entry content can also be opened, played back and audibly reproduced by relevant third-party apps with supporting plug-ins pre-installed beforehand. As a rule, the .CMF resources cover various music data such as a sequence of notes, similar to a typical MIDI (.MID) sample. Nevertheless, the .CMF data resources also include instruments, which serve for playing back distinguished, various sounds. On the logic and hierarchy, Sound Blaster Instrument (.SBI) audio samples are pretty similar to .CMF pattern arrangement, but only contain certain instrument data.
How to open an .CMF file?
π In case the relevant .CMF data items are oriented on storing three-dimensional meshes composed by Cal3D suite, the proper file records can be opened, tracked, and analyzed by Cal3d2ogre, Cal3dViewer, or Short Fuze Limited Moviestorm suites, targeted for management of character animation libraries. Besides, in appropriate circumstances the .CMF file structure is recognized, comprehended, and played back by Winamp audio-player, considering the internal availability of AdPlug modular plugin. Finally, in the rest of the cases, it would be reasonable to experiment with OpenText Connected Backup suite, designed for creation of secure remote and local .CMF backups of computer content.
