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.

Tagged Image File Format (.tif)

TIF, short for Tagged Image File Format, is a flexible and adaptable file format that was introduced in the mid-1980s by Aldus Corporation, now Adobe Systems. Primarily used for storing high-quality raster graphics and images, TIF files are widely adopted in professional environments such as graphic design, medical imaging, and desktop publishing due to their support for lossless compression and extensive metadata capabilities. The format's longevity and adaptability have made it a staple in image archiving and complex image editing tasks, ensuring consistency and high resolution across various platforms and applications.
