Convert IRR to PLY

The IRR (Irrlicht 3D Scene) file extension is associated with the Irrlicht Engine, an open-source 3D graphics engine written in C++. IRR files store scene graphs in XML format, containing elements such as particle systems, animators, and materials, which Irrlicht references to render game environments. These files may also include links to IRRMESH files for defining scene nodes. The Irrlicht Engine, first released in 2003, gained popularity for its lightweight design and cross-platform compatibility, making it a preferred choice for independent game developers and graphics programmers.

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.
