PLY File Format - Polygon File for 3D Mesh Models
The PLY file format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a versatile and lightweight standard for storing 3D mesh data. Originally developed at Stanford University, PLY files are widely used in 3D scanning, computer vision, and scientific visualization thanks to their flexibility and support for both ASCII and binary encodings.
Key Features of PLY Files
- Mesh Structure: Supports detailed geometry with vertices, polygons, and triangle faces.
- Rich Metadata: Stores color (RGB), normals, transparency, texture coordinates, and user-defined custom attributes.
- Dual Encoding: Offers ASCII for human readability and binary for efficient storage and performance.
