PPM to GLTF Conversion
What are PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
What are GLTF files?
glTF or GL Transmission Format is a vector extension developed by the non-profit consortium Khronos with the aim of improving interoperability between various types of software specialized in creating and accessing 3D content. The extension is compatible with several application programming interfaces (APIs) that offer 2D and 3D vector graphics rendering, including WebGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL.
