Support For PLY 3D Files Added
Date: February 27, 2022
Today we added support for PLY to our suite of 3D file converters. The PLY format has several variations, from text to binary formats made for different machine-endian configurations. Our PLY converter supports all the formats.
- 3D mesh geometry, including vertices, faces, and face normals.
- Coloured vertices.
When converting from PLY files using our PLY Converter, our tool will convert the geometric data to the new format. If your PLY contains coloured vertex data, our tool will convert it to the target format where possible. If the target format does not support per-vertex colours, the tool will average the colours and apply them to the mesh faces.
Along with geometric mesh data, the PLY format can also be used to store point cloud formations typically generated by 3D scanners. Our PLY converter can detect point cloud data and render an accurate preview of your point cloud.
