DirectDraw Surface (.dds)

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.

Silicon Graphics Image (.sgi)

The Silicon Graphics Image (SGI) file format, developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. in 1995, is a raster graphics format designed for high-quality color images. It supports 8 to 32 bits per pixel, three primary color channels, and an optional alpha channel for transparency. The format employs run-length encoding (RLE) compression to minimize file sizes. Initially utilized on Silicon Graphics workstations, the SGI format remains compatible with modern image viewers and editors.
