FAQ
WIRE to TIF 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 TIF files?
TIF (Tagged Image File) is a popular type of raster graphic file, suitable both for handling with various types of image editing software and with scanning or printing equipment. Since the 1980s when it was created, the TIF format has received a series of improvements, so at the moment there are several types of the TIFs available. Some of the main advantages of using TIF files include flexibility and high image quality.
