Introduction

This is commercial plugin for my free open-source LAS/LAZ converter: https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter (2020 - present)

Converting point cloud data from LAS/LAZ to GLTF/GLB format is a common task for visualizing LiDAR data in Game Engines like Unity or javascript viewers. This standalone Windows application simplifies the process by providing a user-friendly interface for converting point cloud data to GLTF/GLB format.

Key Features

Easily convert LAS/LAZ/PLY/E57 files into GLB (GLTF) format
Runs locally on your pc, fully offline
Use GUI or command line to convert (hybrid application)
Batch processing with multi-threading!
Additional options for point cloud filtering, scaling, swapping y-z axis, splitting to smaller files and more
