What is this afi file?

The AFI file extension is associated with the application Truevision. The AFI file extension, however, is not the file extension that identifies a file made with this application. Instead, this file extension is only present for the bitmap images files made with this application.Having a bitmap image with the AFI file extension is really one of the main jobs of the Truevision. This application is used to create objects and images. Some of the objects that can be created with this application are solid primitives like boxes, blobs, spheres, cylinders, cones, torus, lathes, and prisms. It can also be used for creating patch primitive like bicubic patches and discs.Light objects can also be made with the Truevision, specifically points, spots, cylindricals, and areas. Even atmospherics can be created with this, like a media, fogs, skyspheres, and backgrounds. With all the images that can be created with the Truevision, some of these are saved as bitmap images, which have the AFI file extension.Bitmap images with the AFI file extension are also referred to as paint, or raster images. The AFI file extension is very unique, since it is made up of individual dots commonly known as pixels, which are organized and has individual colors that are formed in a pattern, which then creates a recognizable image. When the user takes a closer look to the image saved with the AFI file extension by zooming in on it, they will see the pixels that make up the entire image.Since the AFI file extension is made up of small pixels, it becomes an advantageous file compared to other Truevision files. With this bitmap image, users can refine the pixels, intensify the effects of the pixels, and make drastic changes of the entire image. The user can even create a photorealistic effect to the AFI file extension, like shadowing it, and intensifying its color. However, the user must be careful with stretching and reducing the size of the AFI file extension. Resizing the bitmap image can surely distort the original graphic file.
