- 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 PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
