VORT file

VORT file (.pix) is a raster image format associated with the VORT (Very Ordinary Rendering Toolkit) ray tracer and image processing software.

There is another raster image format associated with VORT: a "simple" image format used by VORT's vort2simp utility. This format consists of a .hdr file and a .rgb file.

For the .scn format associated with VORT's ray tracer, see VORT art scene.

Identification

VORT files begin with ASCII "VORT01".

There is also an old VORT format ("vort 1.0 image"). Old format files apparently begin with ?? ?? ff ff or ff ff ?? ??, depending on the endianness of the system they were created on.
