PLY View 3D

This is a great PLY format 3D model viewer. No matter which 3D modeling software you are using, it would not be difficult to export (or convert) your 3D model to .ply format. With help of this app, you can take your 3D files with you no matter where you are, at home or traveling abroad, and view them with your phone (or tablet).

The app provides many 3D features including rotating model with finger movement, zooming in/out, changing color, etc. You can also choose to render your model in wireframe only mode or surface rendering mode. You can view multiple files together.

The app also provides native support for multimedia including image, video and audio. This way, you can manage picture or video of your producs and 3D model together. The image formats supported by the app include png, jpeg, bmp, gif, webp. The video formats supported by the app include 3GPP (.3gp), MPEG-4 (.mp4). The audio formats supported by the app include MIDI (.mid), MP3 (.mp3). The app also provides features for you to have a peek at the raw data of data files in ASCII (text) or binary format.

3D data files can be added to the app's external storage folder called 'afanche'. Just connect your phone (or tablet) with a PC and copy your 3D models to the 'afanche' folder of the device. After that, you can use the app to load the models you saved in the directory. If you have files in system 'download' folder of your device, the app can open them as well. You can also use the app to open files from email(attachment) or web (by downloading). The app also supports third party file management app, for instance, DropBox.

The app also provides you file sorting features so that you can find your model quickly. You sort by file name or file creation time. If you don't need some of the files any more, you can use the app to delete them. If you need share 3D model with your friend, coworker, client or partner, you can use in-app email feature to send your model out as email attachment.

The app is not just a data file viewer. It is also a 3D data file organizer. With its help, it is so easy to keep your 3D data files orgainzied.

If you are not familiar with PLY, here is more info:

The format was principally designed to store three dimensional data from 3D scanners. It supports a relatively simple description of a single object as a list of nominally flat polygons. A variety of properties can be stored including: color and transparency, surface normals, texture coordinates and data confidence values. The format permits one to have different properties for the front and back of a polygon.
