- Description
- The M8 file type is primarily associated with Heretic II, a popular third-person action game developed by Raven Software. It is used to store MipMap textures, which are a collection of pre-calculated, optimized sequences of images, each of a lower resolution than the first. These textures are used to increase rendering speed and reduce aliasing artifacts in the game’s 3D environment. M8 files contribute to the detailed and immersive graphics of Heretic II by allowing for smoother transitions and more efficient texture mapping on 3D models.
- A JPG file is an image saved in a compressed image format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It is commonly used for storing digital photos and used by most digital cameras to save images. JPG files are among the most common image files along with .PNG, .TIF, and .GIF.
