SCN File (SI3D)

Softimage uses a complex project maintenance system called a "database". A database is basically a directory that contains a number of other sub-directories specific to the current project. These sub-directories contain the model .hrc files (the 'models' directory), bitmap image files in the .pic format (the 'pictures' directory), information about lights (the 'lights' directory), information about the current camera (the 'cameras' directory), contents of the current scene (the 'scenes' directory) and so forth.
