In the realm of 3D modeling and design, different file formats cater to diverse needs. PLY (Polygon File Format) is widely used for storing 3D scan data, particularly for point clouds. On the other hand, OBJ format is more versatile and compatible across various 3D software platforms, making it ideal for 3D rendering and animation. Converting PLY to OBJ ensures better compatibility, enabling smoother integration into workflows involving 3D printing, animation, or rendering. T

Polygon File Format Conversion API
Aspose.3D Cloud SDK for Java offers a streamlined and efficient solution for converting PLY to OBJ, ensuring users can leverage the full potential of both file formats. It supports cloud-based operations, which simplifies file processing by eliminating local resource constraints and allowing scalable, high-performance workflows.
- The Cloud SDK enhances productivity, reduces complexity, and improves interoperability across various 3D platforms and applications.
Installation
Now, to use the SDK, we need to first install the latest version of the Java REST API, which is available for download under the release section. Or, you can directly add the reference of API in your Java application through the Maven repository.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
<artifactId>aspose-3d-cloud</artifactId>
<version>20.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Secondly, obtain our client credentials from the cloud dashboard. In case you do not have an existing account, simply create a free account by following the instructions specified in the Quick Start article.
Convert PLY to OBJ using Java
This section sheds light on the powerful capabilities of APIs and how you can easily manipulate and convert 3D files directly from your Java applications without needing specialized 3D software.
ThreeDCloudApi threeDCloudApi = new ThreeDCloudApi("client_credentials", clientID, clientSecret);
create an instance of ThreeDCloudApi, where we pass the Client ID and Client Secret details as arguments.
threeDCloudApi.UploadFile(inputFileName, inputStream);
Upload the input PLY file to the cloud storage.
var response = threeDCloudApi.postConvertByFormat(name, newformat, "myResultant.ply", folder, true, storage);
Call the PostConvertByFormat API to perform the PLY to OBJ wavefront file conversion. After successful conversion, the resultant file is stored in the cloud storage.
PLY to Wavefront OBJ using cURL Commands
Converting PLY to OBJ using Aspose.3D Cloud and cURL commands is a straightforward and efficient process. Aspose.3D Cloud API allows you to perform this conversion without requiring complex 3D modeling software. This approach is highly scalable, enabling you to integrate 3D file conversions into web or desktop applications seamlessly, ensuring high accuracy and efficiency in transforming complex 3D models from PLY to OBJ.
Firstly, we need to generate a JWT access token based on Client ID and Client Secret details.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-bff4-f5a14a4b6466&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"
Secondly, execute the following cURL command to convert PLY to OBJ using PostConvertByFormat.
curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/3d/saveas/newformat?name={sourceFile}&newformat=stlascii&newfilename={convertedFile}&IsOverwrite=false" \
-X POST \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "authorization: Bearer {accessToken}"
Replace sourceFile
with the name of input PLY file, resultantFile
with the name of resultant OBJ file and accessToken
with JWT token generated above.
