HIR to RAD Conversion: FAQ
What are HIR files?
HIR is an old image format associated with Commodore 64 computers, providing what was seen at the time as "high resolution". The Commodore 64 was one of the first types of computers widely available for home users and had an unprecedented popularity in the 1980s. At the moment, however, such files are considered rare and obsolete, so for easier handling you should probably convert them to a more accessible format.
What are RAD files?
The RAD format is supported by a ray tracing application called Radiance, which contains several tools that support lighting simulation and measuring light levels. RAD files are often used in architectural project to design and evaluate lighting systems. Apart from lighting features, they can also save objects and materials, and they serve as input for OCT files that facilitate the scene rendering.
