FAQ
NFF to PPM Conversion
What are NFF files?
NFF (Neutral File Format) is an extension created by American developer Eric Haines with the aim of providing a test tool for rendering algorithms. NFF files contain geometry and surface characteristics data, as well as other aesthetic details describing a 3D scene or object. They are not connected to a particular application and can be used with ray-tracing or various types of 3D rendering software.
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
