- Description
- The MAX file type is primarily associated with 3DS Max, a professional 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software developed by Autodesk. It is used for creating highly detailed models, animations, and digital representations in various industries, including video games, film, and architectural visualization. The MAX file format contains all the data for a project, including models, textures, lighting settings, and animation sequences. When referring specifically to 3DS MAX THUMBNAIL, it implies the thumbnail previews associated with MAX files, giving a quick visual reference of the content without opening the file in the software.
- 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.
