OBJ and PLY are some of the widely used 3D file formats which are easy to write and read. This blog post demonstrates how to convert PLY to OBJ in C# programmatically. In addition, it also introduces an online 3D converter for 3D file format conversion. Yes, it is Aspose.3D for .NET that provides this functionality for programmers and non-programmers to perform 3D image conversion. However, .NET developers can easily develop a PLY to OBJ converter by writing a few lines of source code. So, no more words, let us get to the live action.
The following sections will be discussed in this blog post:

3D Graphics API Installation
To automate the 3D file format conversion, we will spend a few seconds to install this 3D graphics API. Weather, you can install Aspose.3D for .NET by downloading the DLL file or just run the following command into NuGet Package Manager:
Install-Package Aspose.3D
In case you feel any difficulty during the installation, you can visit this guide. In addition, this rich-featured C# library offers a bunch of features such as splitting meshes by material, adding a target camera in a scene, and more.
Convert PLY to OBJ in C# Programmatically - Code Sample
To implement the PLY to OBJ conversion, we have a source PLY file that we will use to run the code snippet.
You can follow the following steps:
- Define the directory path.
- Instantiate an instance of the Scene class that contains the nodes, animation, poses, sub-scenes, etc.
- Load the input Source PLY file by invoking the Open method.
- Create an object of the ObjSaveOptions class.
- Invoke the Save method to save the resultant file in OBJ file format.
The following code sample shows how to convert PLY to OBJ in C# programmatically:
The above code snippet generated the output shown in the image below:
Online 3D Converter
This online 3D converter is also backed by Aspose.3D for .NET. You do not need to install or download any software to work with this tool as it is web-based and you can easily open it in almost all popular web browsers. Moreover, the process is super simple, just drop a file to a nice drag & drop UI and you can perform 3D file format conversion by clicking the “Convert Now” button. Above all, it is free and you can convert PLY to OBJ in seconds.
