## **Notes**

---

- The converter works with most of the popular *.ply* formats, both ASCII and binary, big-endian, or little-endian.
- In addition to the geometric data (faces and vertices), the converter recognizes some of the most common additional channels such as diffuse surface color. Vertex colors are recognized if they are specified as "red", "green", and "blue" or "diffuse_red", "diffuse_green", and "diffuse_blue" vertex properties.
