The file formats that PLIB currently supports (to a varying
degree of fidelity/quality) are:

  M   Strip  3ds    MD2       TGA
  AC  MDL    TRI    ASE       MDL_BGLTexture
  ATG OBJ    VRML1  BMP       OFF
  X   DOF    PCX    XPlaneObj DXF
  PNG FLT    SGI    IV        SSG

...some of those are texture image formats.

In addition, it can write out (again with varying
degrees of success/fidelity):

  3ds   ATG   OBJ   VRML1
  AC    DXF   OFF   X
  ASC   FLT   QHI   ASE
  M     TRI

...so we can (at least in theory) convert any of the
loadable files into any of the saveable formats using
a simple command-line or interactive tool.

However, as I've pointed out, some people have tossed in
file loaders that they wrote for very specific tasks that
only understand a small fraction of what can be expressed
in the underlying file format - so be prepared for some
of these to work poorly.
