SKM to SGI 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 SGI files?
SGI (Silicon Graphics Image) is a raster image format associated with Silicon Graphics workstations. It is a bitmap file that can store black-and-white, gray-scale and color images, and may also contain color maps and alpha channels. SGI files are sometimes referred to as RGBs and can either use no image compression or RLE compression. Alternative extensions for the SGI format are BW, RGB and RGBA.
