This repository has been updated in accordance with the workshop I gave to Interactive Media Arts students at NYU Shanghai in October and then I have left some unnecessary files as well in order to have exactly the same project as before. Now, expand it and you will see its colour and position textures inside. By default, it is Mesh, so change it to Texture and hit Apply. Once it's imported, click on the icon and have a look at the inspector window. Then just drag and drop it into your Unity project. If you don't have any point cloud (ply) file, one of the easiest ways to get it is to visit Sktechfab and find a downloadable point cloud.

The original point cloud was created by ediacara Import a PLY file and Generate its colour and position maps Therefore, you can generate colour and position maps from imported ply files, which will be used for your VFX graphs. I attempted to render point clouds with the VFX Graph in an HDRP scene.
