Convert your PLY 3D models to DAE format using our free online tool. Transform Polygon File Format (PLY) files into COLLADA (DAE) while maintaining geometry and materials. No Signup Required.
The PLY format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, was developed at Stanford University and is commonly used for storing 3D scan data.
PLY files can store both geometric data and properties like color, transparency, surface normals, and texture coordinates, making them versatile for 3D modeling.
DAE (COLLADA) is an XML-based exchange format for 3D applications that was created by Sony and is now maintained by the Khronos Group as an open standard.
This conversion is especially useful when you need to import 3D models into game engines, animation software, or other digital content creation tools that support the COLLADA format.
Converting PLY to DAE involves transforming the geometry and property information from the PLY format into the structured XML-based COLLADA format.
The process preserves vertex positions, face definitions, and vertex properties like colors and normals, then restructures them into the DAE's XML structure.
Our converter ensures that animation and scene hierarchy information can be properly integrated into the output DAE file.
Converting to DAE offers several advantages: it's widely supported by 3D applications, preserves material properties, and enables interoperability between different software tools in animation and game development pipelines.
An online PLY to DAE converter allows you to quickly transform 3D models between formats without installing specialized software. It's convenient for converting models from any device with a browser.
Our converter maintains the original geometry and basic material properties. The DAE (COLLADA) format supports advanced material properties and is widely used in game development and animation workflows.
Conversion time depends on the model size and complexity. Most conversions complete within a few minutes.
