.TEX Rozszerzenie pliku

A TEX file is a bitmap image that stores textures used to create the appearance of different surfaces for 2D and 3D objects. Users will most likely encounter TEX files used in video games (such as first-person shooters) that support 3D texture mapping.

Various video game titles are packaged with TEX files to texture the objects featured in their gameplay. Examples of these video games include Avalon Heroes (which actually uses the .DDS format for its TEX files), Serious Sam, and Dead Rising 2.

Most gamers won't encounter TEX files unless they are browsing the resources of the game in the game installation directory. In these instances, the gamers are looking to modify the TEX textures to change the appearance of objects, such as character accessories, vehicles, or weapons, in the game.

TEX files are not meant to be opened. Instead, the game the TEX files are packaged with references the textures.

However, there are ways to open TEX files to modify them. For example, if you would like to open TEX files used by Dead Rising 2, you can replace their .tex extension with the .big extension, and then open them with Gibbed's DeadRising2 Tools in Windows.
