Check our videoThe PLY is a flexible file format designed to store 3D geometric data, commonly used for representing polygonal models. It is supported by various 3D modeling tools, such as Blender, MeshLab, and 3D printing software, due to its simplicity and versatility. The format supports both ASCII and binary encodings, allowing for efficient storage, and includes features like custom properties, vertex colors, and texture coordinates, making it adaptable for advanced 3D applications.
The 3DS file format is a legacy 3D model format developed by Autodesk for storing 3D geometry, textures, lighting, and animation data, widely used in 3D modeling and rendering. It is supported by various 3D software applications, including Autodesk 3ds Max, Blender, and other tools for game development, animation, and visualization. The format uses a chunk-based binary structure, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of complex 3D scenes, though it lacks support for modern features like advanced shaders or high-precision geometry.
You can also convert PLY into many other file formats. Please see the complete list below.
