- Batch processing with multi-threading
- Additional options for point cloud filtering, scaling, swapping y-z axis, splitting to smaller files and more
- Supports LAS 1.0 to 1.4
- RGB colors : read point cloud RGB colors
- Intensity or Classification color : read point cloud intensity/classification colors (only RGB or Intensity or Classification, not both at the same time currently)
- LAZ header metadata : Exports LAZ header metadata into additional JSON file
GLTF/GLB Exporter is available as a separate plugin for PointCloudConverter (this current repo)

- Once you have installed the converter plugin, you can select GLB Export format
- Select your LAZ source file (you can download sample file here: https://files.fm/u/658mgracwb )
- Set output folder
- Adjust settings, Recommended initial settings:
- [ x ] Auto-Offset, to bring cloud near 0,0,0.
- [ x ] Swap Y and Z (because Unity Y is Up)
- [ x ] Invert X is often required for LAZ to GLB files, otherwise point cloud is mirrored in X axis
- For most clouds, you want [x] Split to grid is disabled, so that you get single file output
- Optional: You can now save your settings into File for later Use, press Export Settings
- Press Convert to begin processing
- If you enabled [x] Open output folder, Explorer window is opened (so you can access file easily)
- Download main Converter (if you don't already have it) https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter/releases ) Important: Use release "106" or later!
- Download your GLB plugin (you'll receive serial code & download site link in your email after purchase), unzip it. *Download link: https://las2gltf.kelobyte.fi/download/
- Place unzipped files into "PointCloudConverterX64/plugins/" (if plugins folder doesn't exists, create it under pointcloudconverter folder)
- You can browse that folder from this button in GUI:
- Video of purchase, installation and basic conversion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9sPYtoOEz8
- Check main converter commandline arguments: https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter/wiki/Commandline-Arguments
- Or use GUI to setup correct settings and press "Get Arguments" (to get ready to use commandline args)
- Or run: pointcloudconverter.exe -? to get help output
- GLTF specific arguments are:
-exportformat=glb-
-usegrid=true*if you want to split cloud(s) into multiple files
- Really large files cannot be converted as single glb files (tested: 2.8gb laz file works, 3.8gb laz file doesn't work, need to use split to grid to output multiple files)
- Your LAZ file is probably too large. Use [x] Split to grid to output multiple files
- enable srgb to convert color space (or use -srgb=true from commandline
- Disable [ ] Use Grid (split to grid) option in converter
- You can report or view open issues at https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter/labels/GLTF%2FGLB (using GLTF label, if its specific to this plugin. Or see all issues, if issue is related to main converter)
- Email support : support @ kelobyte . fi
- No, it is Windows only
- Both, if you run exe without arguments, it opens the GUI.
- Comment here https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter/issues/45
- Or request by support email
- Use plugin (if doesnt work otherwise)
- Setup Shader (to use color attribute)
- Setup Geometry node (to render vertices as points)
