The following file formats are supported for saving rendered images and depth maps.
Name | Extension | Description | Bit Depth | Multi-Layer Support |
---|---|---|---|---|
TIFF |
| TIFF format. | 8-bit integer | Yes_ (Layers can have different data types.) |
OpenEXR | .exr | The Open EXR format. OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic. | 16-bit float | Yes _______________ |
OpenEXR (deep) * | .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 | Yes |
JPEG | .jpg | JPEG format. | 8-bit integer | No |
IFF | .iff | Interchange file format. Note that only RGB or RGBA images are supported. | 8-bit integer | No |
ZFile | .z | Depth map file. To produce this kind of file, the AOV should be set to ‘z’. | 32-bit float | No |
BMP | .bmp | The BMP file format, also known as "bitmap image file". | 8-bit integer | No |
Encapsulated PostScript | .eps | Encapsulated PostScript format. | 8-bit integer | No |
PhotoShop Document | .psd | Adobe PhotoShop image format. | 8-bit integer | No |
Radiance | .rad | Radiance format. | 32-bit float | No |
null | -- | Doesn't output any data. | -- | N/A |
Mipmap TIFF | .tdl | Mipmap TIFF, suitable to be used as a texture map without the need of converting it with tdlmake . | 8-bit integer | No |
Softimage PIC | .pic | Softimage’s PIC format. | 8-bit integer | No |
PNG | .png | PNG format. | 8-bit integer | No |
Shadow Maps Formats | ||||
Shadow Map | .shw | Depth map in TIFF format. AOV has to be set to 'z'. | 32-bit float | -- |
Deep Shadow Map * | .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 Quality: Sampling group of rendering attributes is ignored. Instead, a 'box' pixel filter with a width of 1 x 1 is used. |
The bit depth option menu next to the Image Format attributes specifies how many bits to use per layer component. The available bit depths varies depending of the file format selected (i.e. TIFF, EXR, etc...).
