What is a(n) RND file?
The RND (AutoCAD Autoshade Rendering Slide Format) file format is used to store rendered 3D scenes created in Autodesk AutoCAD software. The files store all of the parameters that define the scene, such as lighting, materials, textures, camera position and orientation, and more. A RND file also stores the objects and mesh data for the scene as well as information about the scene background.
RND files can be opened with Autodesk AutoCAD software and exported to a wide variety of image formats, including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, and more. The RND file can also be exported to some 3D formats such as DXF and DWG.
