An exporter for *PLY*.
- glTF (GL Transmission Format) is an
- open format specification
- for efficient delivery and loading of 3D content. Assets may be provided either in JSON (.gltf)
- or binary (.glb) format. External files store textures (.jpg, .png) and additional binary
- data (.bin). A glTF asset may deliver one or more scenes, including meshes, materials,
- textures, skins, skeletons, morph targets, animations, lights, and/or cameras.
+ PLY (Polygon or Stanford Triangle Format) is
+ file format for efficient delivery and loading of simple, static 3D content in a dense format.
+ Both binary and ascii formats are supported. PLY can store vertex positions, colors, normals and
+ uv coordinates. No textures or texture references are saved.
// Instantiate a exporter
- var exporter = new THREE.PLYExporter( defaultOptions );
+ var exporter = new THREE.PLYExporter();
// Parse the input and generate the ply output
var data = exporter.parse( scene, options );
downloadFile(data);
