- Description
- The SI file format is associated with Softimage, a now-discontinued 3D graphics application developed by Autodesk. Originally designed for creating 3D models, animations, and visual effects, Softimage was widely used in the film, gaming, and advertising industries. SI files typically contain project data, including 3D models, textures, animations, and other related assets. Despite its discontinuation, the SI format and Softimage's tools remain influential in the 3D modeling and animation sectors.
- 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.
