Object File Format
A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.
Key Features of OFF
ASCII Text Files:
: OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.Polygonal Shapes:
The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.Limitations:
OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.
OFF File Conversion
Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
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.
PLY File Conversion
Autoconverter is the best tool for converting PLY files because it handles all major 3D formats (STL, OBJ, FBX, STEP, etc.) while preserving colors, textures, and mesh accuracy. It offers fast batch conversions, an easy drag-and-drop interface, and works seamlessly across CAD, 3D scanning, and game development workflows. Try Autoconverter today - simplify your 3D workflow with flawless PLY conversions!
