PLY to RLA Conversion: FAQ
What are PLY files?
PLY or "Polygon File Format" is an extension used for storing data collected with 3D scanners. It is also known as "Stanford Triangle Format" because it was created at Stanford University in the mid-1990s, with a design inspired by Wavefront's OBJ vector format. A PLY file contains a 3D description of an object through a list of nominally flat polygons, as well as info regarding color, transparency, textures etc.
What are RLA files?
The RLA image format, whose name stands for Run-Length Encoded Version A, is associated with the animation package Wavefront Advanced Visualizer. RLAs are output files storing 3D data and used for exchanging graphical data with other applications. They store several types of information, including images captured from live video, 3D rendered images and graphic images, field-rendered images and multichannel rendered image data.
