We could use some info from what game/software you got this file.
TrID doesn't show anything. It is custom structure-file. No known header. It doesn't look like it even have MAGIC

File is little-endian

Structure so far:

Code: Select all

0x00 - Unknown, maybe version? (I'm 70% sure it's section indicator)
0x04 - Unknown pointer??
0x1C - Same structure as 0x00 > Next section?
0xA8 - Data section header. Every pointer from now on is RELATIVE!
Data section:

Code: Select all

0x00 - null DWORD
0x04 - Size of pointers
0x08 - Relative pointer DWORD
0xYY - Data entry (32 bytes ALWAYS)
Example:
0xA8 start data section. First pointer at 0xB4 is: 280 (decimal).
Now add 0xA8 + 280 (decimal) to get address = 0x1C0 which is first data entry


Data entry (32 bytes):

Code: Select all

0x00 - Unknown? Indicator?
0x04 - Always 01 00 (short)
0x06 - Incrementing ID (ushort)
0x08 - Always zero/ Padding?
0x0C - Always 16, data size? (16 bytes to end of data entry)
0x10 - Unknown dword, maybe float?
0x14 - Same as 0x10
0x18 - Same as 0x10
0x1C - Same as 0x10
File extension .anm may show it's animation file. Increasing ID may be frame IDs. I can't help you more at this moment. This is all I could read from binary-level.
