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.

Khoros Visualization Image File Format (.viff)

VIFF and XV both stand for an identical format. The VIFF (Khoros Visualization Image File Format) is the native format for the Khoros System, a visual programming environment for image processing and visualization in scientific and commercial research. VIFF files support various image types with color spaces and can store multiple images per file. The format includes a 1024-byte header, followed by image data and optional colormap data, making it ideal for image and signal processing, pattern recognition, and geographic information systems.
