Downloaded the .ply files. They look very interesting but now I need to convert them to .obj files to import into Bryce.

I took electroglyph's advise and d/l'd  Blender but I can't make heads or tails of it. I could not find any basic tutorial either here in the Blender forum or on the Blender sites (maybe I missed something).

Is there a simple tut somewhere that shows you how to import  and convert .ply files without going too deeply into Blender's modeling, rendering and animation functions? (...that will come later, right now I just want to convert the .ply files to use in Bryce.)

Thanks...
