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.
