AI and Per Files
To the new designer, creating their own AI and Per files are amongst
the most daunting tasks. What do all those figures mean and how are
they used? Then there is also a third file, the forgoten Ply file
which is still mysterious to many people.
Here you will find three comprehensive articles, covering everything
you need to know about AI files, Per files and Ply files. For custom
made AI and Per files, please visit the Miscellaneous
Files section in the Granary.
AI Files Article
This excellent article covers the things you really need to know
about creating your AI files. An invaluable reference.
Per Files Article
This article by Phill documents the numbers in the Per files that
he has found useful and how they can be implemented, along with
a complete range of values for each Per number.
Ply Files Article
This article amazingly dates back to 2000 and was posted first on
the forums by the then Cherub Rasher. Even though we've known how
these files work for some time, Rasher concludes they are of little
use in a scenario. An interesting read nonetheless.
