MTV ray tracer bitmap
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
MTV ray tracer is the unofficial name of the output format of the MTV ray tracer program by Mark T. VandeWettering. It is a simple uncompressed truecolor raster image format, similar to binary PPM format. Its name comes from the author's initials, not the Music Television cable channel, so the slogan "I Want My MTV!" doesn't apply to it.
MTV uses NFF as its input format.
Identifiers
The MTV software uses a filename extension of .pic. Third-party applications that support this format sometimes use .mtv instead.
