Hey everyone,  
I’m using LiDAR plugin to work with some 3d scans, and I’m questionning myself on how to change the material of the points while keeping the color data ? I’m usually working with Blender and being a newbie on eu, I can’t find something like color attributes that I could use in the shader editor or something. I would like to experiment with glowing emission effects for exemple. Any help or advice on direction take is welcome !  
All best,  
Kilian.
