BLEND extension is used by 3D project files and animations created with 3D modeling tool Blender.
PLY is a 3D image file format. PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) standard was developed at Stanford University. It was created as a means of storing simple 3D data collected using a 3D scanning device.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the BLEND file after converting to PLY may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from BLEND to PLY to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting BLEND to PLY does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in BLEND format, properly converted to a PLY file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file BLEND the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of BLEND file to other than PLY. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your BLEND file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to PLY on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the BLEND file in its original format (without conversion to PLY file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
