FAQ
NFF to DDS Conversion
What are NFF files?
NFF (Neutral File Format) is an extension created by American developer Eric Haines with the aim of providing a test tool for rendering algorithms. NFF files contain geometry and surface characteristics data, as well as other aesthetic details describing a 3D scene or object. They are not connected to a particular application and can be used with ray-tracing or various types of 3D rendering software.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
