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.

Personal Icon (.picon)

The PICON file extension, short for Personal Icon, is primarily used for small personal icons. These icons are commonly employed in digital satellite receivers to identify various channels and on websites to add small icons to the web address bar. The PICON format, classified as a raster image file, supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its history traces back to its use in Dreambox satellite receivers, where it enhanced user interface customization.
