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. NOTES-END IFF (Lightwave) | .iff, .ham, .lbm | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END IFF (Maya) | .iff | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END IMG (Electric Image) | .img, .image | CHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END JPEG | .jpg | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END JPEG XL | .jxl | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START This reads in images in the JPEG XL file format. JPEG XL is a new, follow-on revision of the 1990s JPEG file format. It was ratified in 2022. All variations of RGB and RGBA files are supported, including 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bits per pixel. Animated JPEG XL files are not supported. NOTES-END PIC (Softimage) | .pic | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END PIX (Maya) | .pix | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END PNG | .png | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END PSD (Photoshop) | .psd | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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). NOTES-END SGI RGB | .rgb, .sgi, .bw, .rgba, .inta | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END Targa | .tga, .targa | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END TIFF | .tif, .tiff | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END WebP | .webp | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK | NOCHK NOTES-START This reads in images in the WebP format. WebP was first introduced as a stable release by Google in 2018 as a replacement for the JPEG, PNG and GIF file formats. It is often used for imagery on WEB pages. You may also want to consider 'JPEG XL' as a newer compressed file format ratified in 2022. NOTES-END Windows Bitmap | .bmp, .dib | NOCHK | CHK | CHK | NOCHK | CHK | NOCHK NOTES-START 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. NOTES-END
