OFF File
The OFF (Object File Format) is a file extension used for ASCII text files that contain geometric data of 3D polygonal objects. The OFF file format supports standard 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Our Autoconverter software serves as a primary OFF file converter, allowing you to easily convert OFF files into various other mesh file formats. Alternatively, Autoshaper, our other OFF file converter, enables you to transform your OFF files into smooth NURBS shapes. However, it’s worth noting that while the OFF file format is versatile, it does not support the conversion of materials, textures, or group names from more sophisticated 3D file formats.
PLY File
The PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format), is a file format specifically designed to store three-dimensional triangles along with additional properties such as color, normals, transparency, or texture coordinates. Our Autoconverter software, a dedicated PLY file converter, primarily focuses on reading and writing mesh geometry, without considering material properties, which can vary between face vertices in PLY files. It’s worth noting that PLY files can be saved in either binary or ASCII text formats. The binary version is generally preferred due to its significant reduction in file size.
