While the main and primary focus of development at Okino is the 3D file import/export converters, a wide selection of 2D bitmap, video and audio converters or viewers have also been written in tandem. Thus, performing a 3D file format conversion also allows for automatic 2D bitmap conversion to occur at the same time. For example, IFF was added for native Lightwave support, PIX and Alias IFF for Maya support, IMG for Electric Image support, FLIC for 3D Studio support, SGI RGB for OpenFlight support, PIC for SoftImage support and so on.

The supported 2D importers can be used for bitmap batch conversion, loading of images (or specific video frames) to be used as texture maps within Okino's scanline and ray trace renderers, loading of images (or specific video frames) to be used as textures in the real-time OpenGL user interface, and the viewing of images/video/audio/MIDI files within the Okino Multi-Media Editor and Viewer.

Standard 2D Bitmap Import File Converters

2D Import File Format	Extension	32-bit RGBA	24-bit RGB	8-bit Colormap	8-Bit Grayscale	1-Bit B&W	Video
FLIC (Autodesk)	.flc, .fli, .cel
+ Notes: This is a 64-color or 256-color video file format dating back to the late 1980's, associated with Autodesk's "Animator" program and then its "3D Studio" animation program. This is an Okino implemented FLIC/CEL file reader, with many tweaks added over its lifetime. Handles "old style" and "new style" files. Handles byte run compression. Specific frames can also be captured and applied as texture maps within Okino's rendering software.
IFF (Lightwave)	.iff, .ham, .lbm
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Lightwave IFF/ILBM file format. Handles 24-bit RGB (in 24 separate image planes) or 8-bit colormapped. HAM (16 color), HAM-8 (256 color) and EHB (32 color) modes are supported. Files can be compressed or uncompressed.
IFF (Maya)	.iff
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Alias compatible IFF file format (not to be confused with the Lightwave IFF file format). This file format is commonly used as the default bitmap file format for such Alias products as Maya, Explore and PowerAnimator. 32-bit images (24-bits of RGB and an 8-bit alpha channel), 24-bit images (8-bit red, green and blue channels) and 8-bit images containing only an alpha or grayscale channel are supported. RLE compression is handled.
IMG (Electric Image)	.img, .image
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Electric Image bitmap file format. Handles 24-bit RGB and 32-bit RGBA files. Also handles color-mapped images from 1-bit to 8-bits (2 color B&W, to 256 colors). Compression is always used.
JPEG	.jpg
+ Notes: This reads in images in the JPEG file format. JPEG is a common image format that provides a variable image compression scheme which degrades the quality of an image as the image compression level increases. Relatively high levels of compression can be achieved before significant degradation occurs in the image. Note, however that JPEG is a lossy compression scheme which means that images saved to disk is of lower quality than the original rendered image. Handles either 24-bit RGB JPEG files, or 8-bit grayscale files.
PIC (Softimage)	.pic
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Softimage PIC file format. The file can be read as either a 24-bit image (8-bit red, green and blue channels), a 32-bit image (24-bits of RGB and 8-bits of alpha channel) or an 8-bit image containing only the alpha channel. RLE compression is handled.
PIX (Maya)	.pix
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Alias PIX file format. This file format is commonly associated with such Alias products as Maya, Explore and PowerAnimator. The file can be read either as a 24-bit image (8-bit red, green and blue channels) or as an 8-bit image containing only the alpha channel. RLE compression is handled.
PNG	.png
+ Notes: This reads in images in the PNG file format. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a replacement for the GIF format. It is a full-featured (non-LZW) compressed format intended for widespread use. Reads from 1-bit to 32-bit PNG files, including PNG files with interlacing.
PSD (Photoshop)	.psd
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Adobe Photoshop PSD file format. RLE compression is handled. Imports from 1-bit to 8-bit colormapped images, 8-bit grayscale images, 24-bit RGB images and 32-bit RGBA images. G-Buffer channels are ignored upon import (they are only exported by the Okino rendering software).
SGI RGB	.rgb, .sgi, .bw, .rgba, .inta
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Silicon Graphics RGB file format. It is a complete implementation of the RGB file format, allowing for 8-bit grayscale, 24-bit RGB and 32-bit RGBA input.
Targa	.tga, .targa
+ Notes: This reads in images in the TARGA file format. TARGA is a common bitmap file format, with good support for many different modes. Supported modes are 1-bit B&W, 8-bit colormapped, 8-bits grayscale, 24-bits RGB and 32-bits RGBA. Run-length compression is handled.
TIFF	.tif, .tiff
+ Notes: This reads in images in the TIFF format. This TIFF importer, and its equivalent TIFF exporter, are considered the "standard" bitmap import/export converters for Okino software. Handles 1-bit B&W, 5/5/5 colormapped, 8-bit or 16-bit colormapped, 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA files.
Windows Bitmap	.bmp, .dib
+ Notes: This reads in images in the Microsoft Windows standard BMP file. The file be read as either a 24-bit image (8-bit red, green and blue channels) or as a 1-bit, 4-bit or 8-bit colormapped image.
