Slim is a scripting and extension format used with Pixar RenderMan. A slim file contains Tcl-based instructions that describe Slim state and represent Slim extensions.
Open a slim file with compatible Slim tools associated with Pixar RenderMan. Because the file is Tcl-based, a text editor can also display its contents, but it may not provide the tools needed to use the script or its Slim extensions.
A slim file does not normally have a useful standalone conversion format. Open it in a compatible Pixar RenderMan Slim environment to use the script or its Slim extensions.
