TIFFs support storing arbitrary metadata. (In fact, TIFF stands for just
that... Tagged Image File Format.) Some programs store custom "tags" or
other things in the format, and I guess the renderer just doesn't know what
to do with this particular bit of data, but because the image itself is

None that will run inside Softimage. The only available browser front-ended
ports around largely out-date the netview and JS.
Softimage also DOES NOT use Javascript. It uses JScript, which is
Microsoft's stillborn half arsed effort at it.

Saying "I want to get into games" is like saying "I want to have something
