- Description
- The RAD file format is associated with Radiance, a suite of programs designed for the analysis and visualization of lighting in design. It is primarily used for simulating and predicting the light levels and appearance of a space prior to construction. RAD files contain descriptions of physical materials, geometry, and lighting in a scene, allowing for highly accurate light simulation and rendering. This format is widely used by architects and designers to understand and optimize the lighting of both interior and exterior spaces.
- A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
