Radiance Scene Description (.rad)

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.

Developed by NASA in the late 1970s, this standardized format facilitates data interchange among the astronomical community. FTS is highly extensible, supporting various data types such as images, tables, and multidimensional arrays. Its widespread adoption stems from its capability to encapsulate metadata efficiently, enabling accurate and effective exchange of complex datasets among researchers and institutions.
