Q3O to DDS Conversion
What are Q3O files?
The Q3O extension is attached to "object" files created with Quick3D, a program specialized in 3D modelling. Q3O is also known as a "Model file format" and it is currently considered old and obsolete. Similar formats associated with Quick3D include Q3S and Q3C.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
