well, ok.
as I say, do a *.bat in the /headus folder at program files folder. the bat only gotta be having something like this... (first copy the ply file into headus folder):
ply2obj Armadillo.ply Armadillo.obj
Oh, don't use Ultimate Unwrap..besides is rather slow for such crazy meshes, as I supposed Metasequoia absolutely rocks at it. Quick, almost no load time. And displayin with no glitches (several seen in uu, yet dunno why) .I traslated as OBJ.

u see, in that folder u have a load of possible converters.

I have done this conversion in seconds.
Oh, metasequoia.At least you need to install the ply thing, and metasequoia, or I'm afraid u'll have problems.
Metasequoia LE will allow u to export as dxf -x should not as is 65k tris limit- maybe also cob. DXF does not retain uv coords or smoothing.Smoothing is not important.
I did this test in metasequoia not le, as the shareware is th one that gets updated, is a bit better, and Ultimate opens the only format it exports, native mqo. And curiously, no word mentioned on the comercial use of the shareware...while yes on the LE.
