About the MTV format
MTV — MTV Raytracing Image
MTV is a simple raster image format output by the MTV raytracer, an early public-domain ray tracing program. It stores uncompressed RGB pixel data with a minimal text header, and is primarily encountered in archives of early computer graphics and rendering research.
Common uses
- Legacy computer graphics and raytracing archives
- Converting early ray-traced images
- Historical 3D rendering output recovery
- Computer graphics research image processing
About the HDR format
HDR — Radiance RGBE High Dynamic Range
HDR (Radiance .hdr) is a high dynamic range image format developed for the Radiance rendering system. It stores luminance information far beyond standard 8-bit images using a shared-exponent encoding, making it the standard for HDR environment maps in 3D rendering.
Common uses
- 3D rendering environment maps (IBL)
- HDR panorama photography storage
- VFX and CGI lighting reference images
- Tone mapping source images
