Glossary
The Targa (TGA) format was developed by Truevision for their video boards. The format supports 32-bit true color; that is, 24-bit color plus an alpha channel, and is typically used as a true color format.
Targa files are widely used to render still images and to render sequences of still images to video tape.
Some Targa files created by other applications have different file name extensions. gmax can import the .vda, .icb, and .vst variants as well as .tga.
