What are VTF files?
The VTF (Valve Texture Format) is Valve's proprietary texture format for Source Engine games (*Half-Life 2*, CS:GO). It supports mipmaps, normal/specular maps, and DXT compression, optimized for real-time rendering. Used with VMT material files, it's essential for both game assets and mods.
What are SGI files?

It is a bitmap file that can store black-and-white, gray-scale and color images, and may also contain color maps and alpha channels.
