SKM to DDS 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 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).
