Why import here?

Renderers can often load a splat for beauty alone. Importing through this plugin gives you a Maya object you can place, lookdev, embed in the scene, re-export to other formats, sync to Arnold / V-Ray, and (with the glTF plugin) carry in glTF/GLB. See Why this plugin? on the home page.

Highlights

• File → Import → Gaussian Splats Import
• Formats: PLY (including compressed), SOG, SPLAT, KSPLAT, NPZ, SPZ
• Imports keep file coordinates as-is (scale and rotate in Maya if needed)
• Viewport preview with density, color, opacity, and up-axis controls
• Embed In Scene so Maya scenes can reopen without the original capture file
• Clear selection frame (wire box + corners) instead of a green point cloud
• Re-export to another format or glTF without leaving Maya
