- Description
- The DIS file type is associated with the DKBTrace ray-tracer, a rendering software that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s for generating photorealistic images by simulating the effects of light rays as they interact with objects. DIS files typically contain scene description data, which includes information on geometry, materials, lighting, and camera settings, allowing the DKBTrace program to accurately render three-dimensional scenes. The format is text-based, making it possible for users to create and modify scene descriptions using a simple text editor. Over time, DKBTrace evolved into the more advanced and widely used POV-Ray (Persistence of Vision Raytracer), marking the DIS format as a predecessor to modern 3D rendering scene files.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
