Point Cloud Plugin

[wickerman123]

Which engine version and plugin version are you using?

There is no software limitation (on the plugin side, at least) on the file size of the cloud, I’ve successfully loaded 29GB files in the past. It could be a lack of RAM or too small paging file size.

Alternatively, there is a limit on how many points the cloud can contain when you try to render it. Early access of v0.5 has a hard limitation of ~33,000,000 points per cloud, while the versions prior are restricted by the VRAM of the graphics card used for rendering (20 or 88 bytes per point for point and sprite render modes respectively).

I’m using 4.20.2 and v0.5.

Turns out the issue was a file format discrepancy. RealityCapture writes the values as an expression rather than an absolute value. (See attached images)
Loading the cloud into CloudCompare and re-saving corrected the issue.

I did get a crash when I scaled a cloud up by 100x (it was way too small) and hit “rebuild cloud.” Here’s the log from the Crash Reporter: UE4 PointCloud Crash - Pastebin.com

Update:
Consistently crashing when I try and scale the point cloud in the viewport or the PointCloudEditor window. I can scale and rebuild if the cloud is not in the level but as soon as I drop it in, the engine crashes.
