Convert PLY to OBJ via Python
Render PLY as OBJ without any 3D modeling and rendering software.
Aspose.3D for Python via .NET
Overview
How to Convert PLY to OBJ Using Python
In order to convert PLY to OBJ, we’ll use
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python. Open
package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Command line
pip install aspose-3d
Steps to Convert PLY to OBJ via Python
Python programmers can easily load & convert PLY files to OBJ in just a few lines of code.
- Load PLY file via the from_file of Scene class
- Create an instance of ObjSaveOptions
- Set OBJ specific properties for advanced conversion
- Call the Scene.save method
- Pass the output path with OBJ file extension & object of ObjSaveOptions
- Check resultant OBJ file at specified path
System Requirements
Before running the Python conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
- Python 3.5 or later.
- Aspose.3D for Python referenced in your project.
PLY What is PLY File Format?
PLY, Polygon File Format, represents 3D file format that stores graphical objects described as a collection of polygons. The purpose of this file format was to establish a simple and easy file type that is general enough to be useful for a wide range of models. PLY file format comes as ASCII as well as Binary format for compact storage and for rapid saving and loading. The file format is used by different applications that provide support for 3D files reading.

OBJ files are used by Wavefront's Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Both polygonal geometry like points, lines, texture vertices, faces and free-form geometry (curves and surfaces) are supported by OBJ format. This format does not support animation or information related to light and position of scenes. An OBJ file is usually an end product of the 3D modeling process generated by a CAD (Computer Aided Design). The default order to store vertices is counter-clockwise avoiding explicit declaration of face normals. Though OBJ files declare scale information in a comment line yet no units have been declared for OBJ coordinates.
