GMF files exist as 2 different types. Please find information about each of them below.
Type 1: Leadwerks Game Model File

GMF files store 3D models, animation data, and motion data for game characters. They are created in the Game Model Format used by the Leadwerks game engine. GMF files can be converted from other 3D formats like OBJ before exporting. They are primarily used by the Leadwerks Engine SDK.
GMF files can also store plain ASCII text data. These text files are called Geological Multi-Files. They contain surface and subsurface geological data used by GIS software to create 3D visualizations.
The GMF file extension has two main file types – the Leadwerks Game Model File format and the Geological Multi-File format. The game file format is more common. Most GMF files store 3D image data for games. But some files contain GIS data instead.
Leadwerks Software developed the game file type for its Leadwerks Engine SDK. This stores 3D game character models and animation. The Geological Survey developed the GIS text file format. This stores geoscience data for 3D mapping visualizations.
The game files are commonly used by Leadwerks Engine on Windows 10 systems. The text files are used by ESRI ArcGIS Desktop GIS software. Users of both file types tend to use the Google Chrome browser.
So in summary – .GMF files store either 3D game data or geoscience text data. Game files are read by Leadwerks Engine. Text files are used in ArcGIS Desktop. Both file types can be viewed and edited by specialized software.
Geology Multi-Files are used for recording collected geologic surface data and plotting 3D surface visualizations. GMF files are stored in an ASCII text format.

Geology Multi-Files are used for recording collected geologic surface data and plotting 3D surface visualizations. GMF files are stored in an ASCII text format.
GMF file format description. Many people often share .gmf files without instructions on how to use them. This makes it difficult to determine compatible software for editing, converting, or printing .gmf files.
We provide information on compatible software, editing instructions and conversion options to simplify .gmf file use. Our aim is to promote seamless use of the .gmf file format.
The GMF file extension refers to a geological surface data set saved in the GMF format. GMF stands for Geology Multi File. The GMF files are used by GIS programs. The contents may include x, y, z coordinates for a ground surface.
Windows software that can open the Geology Multi-File include ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop.
To fix problems opening .GMF files you need to update the application used to open them. Only the latest software version supports the current .GMF format. You need to check the .GMF file for viruses.
Unlike .geo files, .gmf files allow description of individual geologic surfaces by defining x,y,z coordinates. Geologic hierarchy applies for complex structures. This format allows geologic model creation from uncorrelated data. It allows color specification. You should include coordinate units.
