- 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 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.
