GMD

GMD is a model format used in Persona 5 animations for models ing GMD Format are stored in external GAP files bu tcan be found inside GMD files on rare occasions. GMD files also have embedded textures in headerless variant of DDS format. Most of persona 5's models can be found in data.cpk/models.

DDS

DDS The DirectDraw Surface container file format (uses the filename extension DDS), is a Microsoft format for storing data compressed with the previously proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, which can be decompressed in hardware by GPUs. This makes the format useful for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps as a data file, both compressed and uncompressed. The file extension for this data format is '.dds'. Persona 5 saves them in multiple images to hide Lossy Compression. This format can be opened with most graphic editing software. In persona 5 it's used for textures.
