General / Re: Texture Problem with .ply files
« on: August 09, 2015, 12:01:00 AM »
Hi,
even though ply files can include texture coordinates to map UV textures, I hardly know a software that can import these correctly. Usually the vertex colors just shows up, which can be enough if the mesh is high res.
I usually go "the safe route" and export as obj with texture, where meshlab, cloudcompare, blender etc. don't have any problems in reading the files correctly.
Cheers!
