Convert X to PLY

The DirectX Model File, denoted as X, is a file format used primarily for storing 3D models, animations, and other graphical data. Introduced with DirectX 2.0, it supports both text and binary formats, allowing for efficient representation of complex 3D geometry and associated data. This format is extensively utilized by the Direct3D API for rendering graphics in applications and games. Its template-driven structure enables flexibility and extensibility in defining various graphical elements.

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.
