Convert RAD to DCX

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.

The DCX file extension, standing for ZSoft Multi-page Paintbrush Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation. It is primarily used for creating multi-page digital fax files, containing a sequence of PCX images. Each DCX file begins with a small header identifying the file, followed by multiple embedded PCX files. This format was widely adopted in early digital faxing and document imaging applications due to its ability to handle multiple pages within a single file.
