Help funding Blender in 2026

If Blender helped you with your projects this year, we're asking you to help us back.

For the past year, you've had access to professional 3D software, completely free. No subscriptions, no licenses, no limits. Blender has been there for your projects, your learning, your art, your business.

Today, we're asking for $5.

That's it. If every active Blender user contributed $5 this month, Blender Foundation would meet its entire yearly funding goal for 2026.

Import PLY Node¶

The Import PLY node imports mesh data from a .ply (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) file.

PLY files typically store geometry from 3D scanning or modeling software and can include vertex attributes such as colors or normals. The geometry is imported as a single mesh.

This node allows procedural workflows to incorporate external static geometry directly into Geometry Nodes.

Inputs¶

Path: The path to the .ply file to be imported.

Properties¶

This node has no properties.

Outputs¶

Mesh: The mesh geometry imported from the PLY file.
