How do I open a .physicMaterial file?

Drop a .physicMaterial file onto Analyser at https://analyser.valjdakosta.com/ and it opens directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Open Unity game-engine assets in the browser. Unity serialises scenes (.unity), prefabs, Animator Controllers (.controller), animation clips (.anim), materials (.mat), physics materials (.physicsMaterial2D) and other assets (.asset) as a YAML object stream, with a .meta importer record (carrying the asset GUID) beside every file. Analyser splits the object documents and reads each - a scene's GameObjects and component-type breakdown (Transform, SpriteRenderer, colliders, scripts), an animation's sample rate and curves, a controller's layers and states, a material's friction and bounciness, and a .meta's GUID and importer.

Can I open a .physicMaterial file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .physicMaterial opener and viewer that runs entirely in your browser - your .physicMaterial file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.

What is a .physicMaterial file?

PHYSICMATERIAL is a Unity 3D physics material - the static/dynamic friction and bounciness applied to 3D colliders. Created and opened by Unity.

Did you know: The 3D extension drops the "s" - .physicMaterial - while the 2D one keeps it as .physicsMaterial2D.
A physics material decides how surfaces behave on contact - an icy floor gets low friction, a rubber ball high bounciness.
Unity's 3D physics runs on the Nvidia PhysX engine, which these materials feed their friction and restitution values into.
