HxPLY

Pure C# PLY (Polygon File Format) reader and writer. Zero dependencies.

Features

  • All three formats: ASCII, binary little-endian, binary big-endian
  • All 8 scalar types: char, uchar, short, ushort, int, uint, float, double (+ aliases int8, uint8, etc.)
  • List properties: variable-length arrays (face indices, etc.)
  • Arbitrary elements: vertex, face, edge, and any custom elements
  • Gaussian Splatting: position, SH coefficients, scale, rotation, opacity
  • Column-oriented storage: typed arrays per property, zero-copy access
  • Round-trip: read and write any PLY file losslessly
  • Async: ReadAsync / WriteAsync

Usage

Read

var ply = PlyReader.Read("model.ply");

// Vertices
var v = ply.Vertices!;
float[] x = v.GetFloat("x");
float[] y = v.GetFloat("y");
float[] z = v.GetFloat("z");

// Colors (if present)
if (v.HasProperty("red"))
{
    byte[] r = v.GetByte("red");
    byte[] g = v.GetByte("green");
    byte[] b = v.GetByte("blue");
}

// Faces (if present)
var f = ply.Faces;
if (f != null)
{
    int[][] indices = f.GetListInt("vertex_indices");
}

// Gaussian Splatting
if (v.HasProperty("scale_0"))
{
    float[] opacity = v.GetFloat("opacity");
    float[] scale0 = v.GetFloat("scale_0");
    float[] rot0 = v.GetFloat("rot_0");
    float[] dc0 = v.GetFloat("f_dc_0");
}

Converting accessors

// GetAsFloat converts any numeric type to float[]
float[] values = v.GetAsFloat("red");  // byte[] -> float[]

Write

PlyWriter.Write("output.ply", ply);
PlyWriter.Write("output.ply", ply, PlyFormat.BinaryLittleEndian);

Async

var ply = await PlyReader.ReadAsync("large_scan.ply");
await PlyWriter.WriteAsync("output.ply", ply);
