VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a text-based 3D graphics language for describing virtual reality scenes and objects. It was originally released in 1994 to enable Internet users to browse and interactively navigate 3D models and create VR scenes. VRML files usually end with .wrl Enterprise Archive File and contain information about geometry, materials, animation, and interactivity with individual elements in the scene. These elements can be basic geometry such as spheres, cuboids, or cylinders, complex surface models or 3D mesh models with texture mapping. VRML files, when run in a browser, allow users to interact with the mouse and keyboard to browse, zoom, rotate, and pan 3D scenes. In addition, VRML also supports scripting, allowing developers to achieve higher levels of interactivity. Although VRML received a lot of attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it has been replaced by most emerging 3D graphics technologies in web applications due to its more restricted use and backward technology. However, VRML is still considered an important historical milestone in the field of virtual reality.
The PLY format is a 3D model format developed and released in 1994, primarily used to store 3D data from 3D digital scanners. The format, also known as the Polygon File Format and Stanford Triangle Format, can be either binary or text-based.
The file format stores 3D geometric information, such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, colors, and other custom data. Many PLY models still use this format, available for download, and PLY files can be loaded into popular 3D applications such as Blender.
