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.
GLTF File
GLTF (Graphics Language Transmission Format) is a file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization. There are currently two versions of the GLTF file format available: the original 1.0 and the more recent 2.0, with the latter being preferred due to its newer features. By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode. However, to save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. Our GLTF and GLB conversion tools, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, offer full support for importing and exporting both GLTF and GLB files, thanks to the open asset import library.
