Convert GLB to PLY

The GLB file extension, short for GL Transmission Format Binary, is a binary version of the GLTF format used for efficiently transmitting and loading 3D graphics. Introduced in 2015, it encapsulates 3D models, textures, materials, animations, and scenes into a single, compact file, making it ideal for web applications, mobile apps, VR, AR, and gaming. Its self-contained nature ensures faster load times and easier sharing across platforms.

The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
