BioVision Hierarchy (.bvh)

The BVH (BioVision Hierarchy) file format is pivotal in computer graphics and animation, primarily used for motion capture data. Originating in the late 1990s, BVH files enable the hierarchical representation of skeletal movements, facilitating the transfer of motion data between various software applications. This format supports complex animations by detailing joint positions and rotations, making it a standard for animators and developers working on realistic character animations in gaming, film, and virtual reality. Its ability to efficiently encode and exchange motion data underscores its significance in the evolution of digital animation technologies.

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.
