BMP Windows Bitmap Image

This file format is a type of image file designed for storing digital images on Windows systems. It's known for its simple structure, universal compatibility, and ability to maintain pixel-perfect accuracy, but also for its lack of compression and advanced features.

Key Features of BMP

  • Uncompressed Accuracy:

    BMP files preserve every pixel which make them ideal for medical imaging, scientific data visualization, and applications requiring pixel-level precision.

  • Simple Structure:

    Straightforward structure makes BMP files readily editable in basic image editing programs. Longstanding format ensures compatibility with a vast range of computer software and systems.

  • Large File Sizes:

    Uncompressed nature leads to bigger BMP files, impacting storage efficiency and potentially slowing down web loading.

IV Inventor File

The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.

Key Features of IV

  • File Structure:

    Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.

  • Format Origin:

    Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.

  • Scene Representation:

    Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.

  • Visual Attributes::

    Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.

  • Texture Mapping:

    Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.
