FAQ
WIRE to PNG 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 PNG files?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was designed in the mid-1990s as an improved alternative to the previously existing JPG and GIF formats, and as an extension which would be particularly web-friendly. In time, PNG files have gained a wide popularity and are highly appreciated at the moment for their ability to provide a lossless compression of images, which translates in high-quality and detailed renderings.
