Convert R34 to 002

Understanding r34 and 002 file formats

R34 files are typically associated with RIB (RenderMan Interface Bytestream) files, often used in 3D rendering and animation workflows. However, the .r34 extension is not a widely recognized standard and may be specific to certain software or proprietary systems. It is important to identify the originating application to ensure proper handling.

002 files, on the other hand, are generally split archive files—the second part of a multi-volume archive, commonly created by file splitting utilities like WinRAR or 7-Zip. These files are not standalone and require the complete set of split files (e.g., .001, .002, .003, etc.) to be reassembled into the original file.

How to convert r34 to 002

Direct conversion between r34 and 002 is not standard, as they serve different purposes. If your .r34 file is part of a split archive, you can rename it to .002 if it is the second part, but this only works if the file was originally split and named differently. If you are trying to split an .r34 file into parts with a .002 extension, you can use file splitting tools.

Recommended software for conversion

• 7-Zip: Free and open-source utility for splitting and joining files. To split an .r34 file, right-click the file, select 7-Zip → Add to archive…, then set the Split to volumes, bytes option. This will create .001, .002, etc. parts.
• WinRAR: Another popular tool for splitting files. Right-click the .r34 file, choose Add to archive…, and set the Split to volumes, size field to generate .001, .002, etc. files.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Install 7-Zip or WinRAR on your computer.
2. Right-click your .r34 file and select 7-Zip → Add to archive… or WinRAR → Add to archive….
3. In the archive settings, specify the split size (e.g., 100MB) in the Split to volumes, bytes field.
4. Start the process. The software will create a series of files: .001, .002, etc. The .002 file will be the second part of your split archive.

Important notes

• 002 files cannot be used independently; you need all parts to reconstruct the original file.
• Always keep all split parts in the same folder before attempting to rejoin them.
• If your .r34 file is not a split archive, converting it to .002 may not be meaningful or useful.
