What PLY and 3DS files are
PLY
PLY (Polygon File Format, also known as the Stanford Triangle Format) was created at Stanford University in the 1990s to store data from 3D scanners. Besides vertices and faces it can hold per-vertex colors, normals and other values in text or binary form, which makes it popular for 3D scans and point clouds.
3DS
3DS is the native file format of Autodesk 3D Studio for DOS, the predecessor of 3ds Max. It stores meshes, materials, lights, cameras and basic animation in a binary file, but limits each mesh to 65,535 vertices and 65,535 faces, so today it is mainly used to exchange older models.
