PLY to VRML
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to PLY and VRML interoperability and exchange that could help you with the PLY to VRML 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.
VRML Virtual Reality Modeling Language File
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is an ASCII file format to store 3D objects with the other attributes e.g. light sources, materials, textures and world transformations, required to render the whole 3D scene in the web browser. The modern and more advanced replacement for VRML is now X3D file format. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software can import & export VRML files and convert them into other file formats. However please note that material textures are only processed for theIndexedFaceSet shape geometries saved in the VRML file.
