The following file formats are supported for saving rendered images and depth maps.
| Name | Extension | Description | Bit Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
tiff |
| TIFF format. | 8-bit integer |
Texture | .tdl | Mipmap TIFF, suitable to be used as a texture map without the need of converting it with tdlmake. | 8-bit integer |
exr * | .exr | The Open EXR format. OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic. | 16-bit float |
deepexr * | .exr | The Open EXR "deep" image format (introduced in Open EXR 2.0). Each pixel can contain multiple values at different depths. | 16-bit float |
jpg | .jpg | JPEG format. | 8-bit integer |
png | .png | PNG format. | 8-bit integer |
iff | .iff | Interchange file format. Note that only RGB or RGBA images are supported by the IFF display driver. | 8-bit integer |
cineon | .cin | Cineon format. It is recommended to set the bit depth to 32-bits float. | 10-bit float (logarithmic) |
zfile | .z | Depth map file. It is recommended to set the bit depth to 32-bits float. To produce this kind of file, the AOV should be set to ‘z’. | 32-bit float |
eps | .eps | Encapsulated PostScript format. | 8-bit integer |
bmp | .bmp | The BMP file format, also known as "bitmap image file". | 8-bit integer |
psd | .psd | Adobe PhotoShop image format (PSD stands for Photoshop Document). | 8-bit integer |
radiance | .rad | Radiance format. The only supported bit depth (by the display driver) is 32-bits float. | 32-bit float |
pic | .pic | Softimage’s PIC format. | 8-bit integer |
| Shadow Maps Formats | |||
shadowmap | .shw | Depth map in TIFF format. AOV has to be set to 'z'. | 32-bit float |
dsm * | .dsm | Deep Shadow Map. AOV should be set to "rgba". | 32-bit float |
For the format names marked with a *, the filtering specified in the Rendering Quality group of rendering attributes is ignored. Instead, a 'box' pixel filter with a width of 1 x 1 is used.
