This page lists the different types of content you can import into your Stingray projects.

• PNG
• JPG
• RAW
• TGA/TARGA
• TIF/TIFF. Note: Stingray does not support importing 32-bit TIFF files.
• EXR. Note: Stingray does not support multilayer EXR files.
• DDS. The Stingray engine can render imported DDS textures as-is without additional conversion or compression. Use DDS format if you want to pre-set your image sizes and compression in a 2D texturing tool instead of setting up your textures in the Stingray Texture Manager. See also Recommended texture compression settings.

Use the FBX format to import 3D meshes, materials, and animations into Stingray.

Note: Stingray does not support OBJ files out-of-the-box. For a sample plug-in that demonstrates how you could extend Stingray to bring in OBJ models, see the SDK sample repository and the import extensions page in the SDK Help.

You can import any type of audio file supported by Wwise. Most projects use WAV files.

You can import the following types of fonts into Stingray as .font resources, which you can use with the Lua stingray.Gui API:

• TTF
• TTC
• OTF
• OTC
• CFF
• WOFF
• FNT
• PFA
• PFB
• PFR

For details, see Import fonts.

Stingray doesn't have "output formats" that you can open in other applications. Instead, the final result that you create from a Stingray project is its own application.

When you deploy your project for a target platform (like Windows, iOS or Android), Stingray creates a package that gathers together several things: the Stingray runtime engine; additional libraries the engine depends on; and data files that contain optimized binary representations of your project's resources. You distribute these packages for other people to run on their computers or devices.
