RAF Scene (.XML)
Models and Lights (.DAE)
Models can be geometric 3D objects, or 3D light points
- Typical objects and names used:
- bg.dae
- ambient_light.dae
- point_light.dae
Models files contains references to the libraries that were used by the 3D app that build the object
- Typical entries found in models (3d objects)
- <asset>
- <library_physics_scenes>
- <library_images>
- <library_materials>
- <library_effects>
- <library_geometries>
- <library_visual_scenes>
- <scene>

Textures
See Multimedia Formats and Tools page
Before compiling, only .dds and jpeg are supported.
After compiling, Graphics Texture Format (GTF) (is a container for storing one or multiple textures, "pack GTF", data in a layout that can be used as is by RSX).
Script
.JS
script.js (an PlayStation JavaScript, known as PSJS, based on ECMA-262)
ECMA-262: several well-known implementations such as JavaScript, JScript and ActionScript.
Some examples of PS3 theme using PSJS:
.JSX
The script.js is later on compiled into an intermediate code (.jsx) with a magic header "VSMX".
