AC3D Model Definition File (.ac)

The AC file extension, short for AC3D Model Definition File, is primarily used in the field of computer graphics for storing 3D model data. Developed by Inivis Limited, this format has a history dating back to the 1990s and is known for its simplicity and efficiency in representing 3D objects. AC files store polygonal data and associated material information, making them suitable for various applications including simulation, game development, and virtual reality. Its straightforward structure allows for easy manipulation and integration with numerous 3D modeling and rendering tools.

Polygon File Format (.ply)

The Polygon File Format (PLY) is a versatile file format designed for storing 3D polygonal models. It originated at Stanford University in the mid-1990s to support the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository project. The primary purpose of PLY is to efficiently represent and exchange three-dimensional data, including vertex coordinates, colors, and normals. Its flexibility makes it valuable for various applications such as 3D scanning, computer graphics, and 3D printing. PLY files can store both ASCII and binary data, making them adaptable for diverse processing needs within computer technology.
