File information for STP and VID

Full Name	STEP-File
Extension	STP
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The STP file format, also known as ISO 10303-21, is a 3D file format used within the area of computer-aided design (CAD) as a way to exchange data between different applications. The STP format is essentially a plain text file containing commands used to describe the 3D object.

Due to the standardized nature of the format, there is support for importing STP files into many CAD applications. STP files can, however, become quite large, and some complex files can take a long time to import into a 3D project.

Mesh Geometry

The STP format is not a mesh-based format; converting a STP file to a mesh format is possible via most CAD applications via a tessellate function.

STP Converter Capabilities

As the STP format currently does not support the use of material colors when used by tool, your converted model will contain only the mesh geometry, material colors will not be transferred to your converted file.

A VID file is a video file format native to the ZX Spectrum Next. It stores uncompressed video as a sequence of images along with 8-bit audio. The only currently supported resolution of the video is 320x240 in 256 colors at around 16.6 FPS. For additional technical information, please see the Spectrum Next developer portal.

The VID format supports additional resolutions and framerates, which may or may not include a separate palette per frame. The conversion currently supported is for 320x256 resolution only, with a palette per frame.
