.CKD File Extension

A variety of Ubisoft video games have been developed using the UbiArt Framework. Before certain assets are included in UbiArt Framework games, they are compiled into CKD files. Typically, CKD files retain the extension of the file they were created from. For example, an .M3D file that has been compiled into a CKD file would use the .m3d.ckd extension.

Most gamers will never encounter a CKD file, but those who are interested in extracting and editing the assets found in an UbiArt Framework game may encounter CKD files while browsing a game's files or researching the game's assets online.

You can open some CKD files in Blender (cross-platform) and Unity Technologies Unity (cross-platform). For example, you can open M3D, S3D, and .TGA files that have been saved as CKD files in Blender, and you can open ISG files that have been saved as CKD files in Unity.
