SKM to CIN Conversion: FAQ
What are SKM files?
An SKM file is a proprietary SketchUp Material file developed by Trimble (originally Google). It is used to store and distribute custom textures, surface finishes, and rendering properties within the SketchUp 3D modeling software. Instead of being a raw image, an SKM file is a packaged container that bundles a texture map with metadata to dictate how the material scales, reflects light, and behaves on a 3D surface.
What are CIN files?
The CIN or Kodak Cineon format is a raster graphics format originally associated with the process of film editing and production using the Cineon System designed by Kodak, developed during the 1990s. Though later on Kodak stopped producing this system, the CIN format remained popular especially in the process of creating visual effects. The format's main advantage is its ability to offer a high-quality rendering of scanned film negatives, thus allowing their future editing.
