Hi @cloudending ,

I am able to load 1.5GB PLY files just fine.

Are you able to send me the PLY please so I can take a look?

Thanks!

download link：https://we.tl/t-9IDsS7KYHN，it is a simplied ply which only contains " x y z f_dc_0 f_dc_1 f_dc_2 opacity scale_0 scale_1 scale_2 rot_0 rot_1 rot_2 rot_3".
I try to export compressed ply from a full parameters ply which size is 2.23G. It can be imported successfully.

Thanks @cloudending! I can confirm the same issue on my side. Loading the compressed file into model viewer works fine though, so it's a bug in SuperSplat.

Looks like the PLY contains splats with scale of -Infinity, which isn't being handled very well.

It makes me wonder whether some kind of PLY linter might be cool to have in SuperSplat? Or maybe a log window that outputs problems found in loaded scenes.

While I fix this issue on my end @cloudendin, I found a workaround you can use to get this to working.

The splats causing the issue are all centered at (0, 0, 0).

You can see this and then delete them as follows:

1. Open the SPLAT DATA panel
2. Choose Distance dropdown option, you will see there are 11k 0-size splats at the very center of the scene.
3. Select all these splats by clicking on the bar in the SPLAT DATA panel
4. Delete them

You can now export compressed without problem.
