BLEND to PLY
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the BLEND and PLY interoperability and exchange that can help you with the BLEND to PLY conversion.

BLEND File
BLEND (Blender) is a native file format for the open source Blender software, which is used to create advanced 3D content. The BLEND file can store 3D triangular mesh data, light sources, object animation key frames, texture UV mapping, and other data required to create stunning 3D visualizations and animations. You can use our Autoconverter or Automesher Application converters to import and convert BLEND files into your native modeling environment. These converters will enable you to use and process BLEND files outside the native Blender environment. However, please note that at the moment we don't support exporting your 3D projects to the BLEND file format, which you could edit further with the Blender software.
PLY File
PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) is a file format developed to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, normals, transparency or texture coordinates. However, Autoconverter our PLY file converter can only read and write mesh geometry without the material properties, as in the PLY file they can vary between triangle vertices. You can save PLY files in a binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the binary version due to a significant PLY file size saving.
