PLY files
Which folder should ply files be added in OB? Models? Just saw you have support for them as well as web m

Probably not all ply files - specifically point clouds (anything that's supported by https://github.com/keijiro/pcx

People are using PLY for all kinds of crazy things because it's such a simple format.
experimenting a bit more with adding elements in scenes. Hope it works....
Stuff like gaussian splats might import - but they won't render as splats
they might show up as point clouds however.
ok good to know....I can always merge the two in unity if need be for what Im trying
thanks for the info
are you're using the arasP repo?
Im just starting yes

that uses .splat format files (same as the web viewer)
looking now..... trying to determine which is best...will test both and post something this week
I have some awesome aerials from when I was big into drone work
Someone really needs to get Order Indendent Transparancy working with splat rendering. The sorting step is the main thing that's killing the frame rate.
Aras made a start on it but he gave up because it was grainy - but he didn't try the MSAA trick i suggested
Maybe give it a go? 🙌
Its really cool but it really needs more work ...same with photogrammetry. Cool stuff but not quite there yet re: resolution and performance
i think resolution is fine if the splat conversion is done properly. The example scenes from the original paper look great if you stick close to the intended viewpoints
Performance isn't there yet for VR - especially on standalone
but it's close.
it's the damn sorting stage
yeah its so tough to get things where they need to be. Wish points was standard or something across all game engines like Unreal now with nanites. AI solutions would be perfect
it's all so new. there's a research paper with a new approach coming out every few days
settling on a format when the algorithm is changing fast might be premature
then low poly anything will be a thing of the past....cant wait til that day.

Fascinating conversation.
So we can handle ply files? If so, back to the original question quickly, do they go in the models folder?

Yes!
can confirm they import to OB but not with color in unity format
