File extension .FP

File description

FP file format is used by ARB assembly language to create fragment programs. This is a shading language which is created by OpenGL architecture review board for standardizing GPU instruction set.

The fragment program allows ARB language to load ARBfp assembly language instruction set by providing APIs. This file also allows the program to set different GPU parameters and enable the selected programs. These file are definition of interpolated pixels. The fragment programs allow the user to modify the properties of pixels of selected object before they are being rendered for displaying as final result. All the calculations done in this process is done by program itself.

Remember!
The .FP file extension can correspond to several not related file formats. If there is more than one file format with the .FP extension, you will probably find most of them at this website. Remember that you need to download a program to support a particular file type. So first look through the entire contents of the website to select a program to support just the file you have.

Other possible reasons why your .FP file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .FP file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .FP file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .FP file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .FP file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

  • Right-click the .FP file
  • Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
  • Locate the appropriate application
  • Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
