I’ve been looking back at some older projects that use the Point File In TOP. I’m finding that after TD 2023_11600 the .ply files aren’t correctly loading in more recent versions of TouchDesigner. I haven’t tried all the versions in between 2023 and present but I’ve tried several builds and am finding that this is happening on both Mac and PC. It also is extending to the Point File In POP.
I’m finding it applies to the example Point File In snippets with the Banana.ply not loading. I’ve also tried a number of these older .ply files and I’m finding this seems to carry across all of them.
I’ve mainly been working with gaussian splat files the past few years (which are working great 
) which is why I haven’t come across this before. I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing or doing wrong or if it’s an issue other folks are having.
