Digital Asset Exchange (.dae)

The DAE file extension stands for Digital Asset Exchange, a format used for exchanging 3D digital assets between various graphics programs. Developed by Sony and now managed by the Khronos Group, DAE files are based on the COLLADA XML schema and are widely supported by software like Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Adobe Photoshop. This format facilitates interoperability among different 3D modeling and animation tools, making it a standard in the industry.

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.
