About the PIX format
PIX — Alias/Wavefront RLE Image
PIX is a simple run-length encoded image format used by Alias/Wavefront (now Autodesk) tools, including Maya and early versions of Alias Studio. It stores RLE-compressed RGB images and is encountered when working with legacy 3D rendering and animation output.
Common uses
- Legacy Maya and Alias Studio render output
- Converting old 3D animation frame sequences
- VFX and 3D animation archive recovery
- Historical Alias/Wavefront workflow images
About the PAM format
PAM — Portable Arbitrary Map
PAM is an extended Netpbm format that generalizes PBM/PGM/PPM to support arbitrary numbers of channels and depths. It can store RGBA (color with transparency), CMYK, or any custom multi-channel image, making it the most capable member of the Netpbm family.
Common uses
- RGBA image storage with transparency
- Multi-channel scientific image data
- Flexible image pipeline interchange
- Extending Netpbm workflows to alpha and CMYK
