GLTF to PLY Conversion

With our tools, changing GLTF to PLY is a breeze - follow these simple 3 steps:

1. Install Autoconverter

   Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert GLTF files to PLY format

2. Import GLTF File

   Click Open... to load your GLTF file (.gltf, .glb), or drag and drop it into the application window.

3. Export to PLY Format

   Use Save As... to export your file to the PLY mesh file format (.ply).

GLB Graphics Language Transmission File

A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models.

Key Features of GLTF and GLB

• GLTF Versions: There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
  • GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
  • GLTF 2.0: Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
• ASCII and Binary Modes: By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
• Embedded Textures: GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.

GLTF/GLB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.

PLY Polygon File

A a simple and flexible file format to store 3D mesh data. It supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), colors, normals, and custom properties. PLY is also known as the Stanford Triangle Format as it was developed at Stanford University in the early 1990s. It still remains a popular choice for storing 3D geometry.

Key Features of PLY

• Flexible Structure: Supports vertices, faces (triangles/polygons), edges, and custom data.
• Properties: Can store RGB colors, normals, texture coordinates, transparency, and user-defined attributes.
• ASCII & Binary Formats: PLY files can be saved in ASCII (readable) or binary (compact) form.
