FAQ
WIRE to PIC Conversion
What are WIRE files?
WIRE is the native file format of Autodesk Alias, a family of programs for industrial and automotive design, in which designers shape the smooth surfaces of cars, products, and consumer goods. A file of this type holds a whole design scene: the curves and surfaces that make up the model, layers that organize them, the materials, lights, and cameras for rendering, and background settings. The surfaces are described mathematically, as NURBS, so they remain perfectly smooth at any magnification, instead of being made of flat facets. The format is proprietary and compressed, and it is the default when a model is saved in Alias. Other programs can import it, but they usually take only the geometry and the basic materials.
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
