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

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.
DAE Collada File
DAE (Collada) file extension is a Digital Asset Exchange file used by many 3D software products as the main file format to exchange digital assets e.q. textures, geometries or just bitmap images. DAE file format is capable of storing reusable geometry component instances, multiple texture images with the corresponding texture coordinates, color transparency and named groups hierarchy. Our DAE file converters either Autoconverter or Autoshaper, can process your Collada DAE files thanks to OpenCOLLADA open framework which allows us to read and write to Collada DAE file format in an easy and efficient way.
