This is [AllenAI Objverse 1.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/objaverse) but stripped of all textures and materials and baked into solid meshes and exported as PLY files.

The benefits to doing this is reduced file size and memory usage. Can be used to teach netural networks the shapes of objects to then be fed into a re-coloring network.

This is work-in-progress (WIP) and I might not even finish it because the process is a little slow, the script I am using to convert the GLB files is a Blender script in Python that seems to leak memory in the second phase for some reason, you can check it out here: https://github.com/lzardy/glb_processing/blob/main/glb_to_ply.py

Even if it didn't leak... It's really really slow.
