FAQ
SKM to RLA Conversion
What are SKM files?
An SKM file is a proprietary SketchUp Material file developed by Trimble (originally Google). It is used to store and distribute custom textures, surface finishes, and rendering properties within the SketchUp 3D modeling software. Instead of being a raw image, an SKM file is a packaged container that bundles a texture map with metadata to dictate how the material scales, reflects light, and behaves on a 3D surface.
What are RLA files?
The RLA image format, whose name stands for Run-Length Encoded Version A, is associated with the animation package Wavefront Advanced Visualizer. RLAs are output files storing 3D data and used for exchanging graphical data with other applications. They store several types of information, including images captured from live video, 3D rendered images and graphic images, field-rendered images and multichannel rendered image data.
