- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
