Support for .spz files (compressed gaussian splats)

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hi, I am looking for direction on how to possibly implement support for .spz files in TD. They are compressed versions of .ply files specifically created for gaussian splats. Do I have to roll a c++ TOP? Or perhaps better to write a script outside of TD to convert the compressed .spz to a .ply file that TD can handle natively already?

Github repo for the .spz format:

Hi @watershed,

if i were to try and do this myself, would the right place to start be writing my own cpp TOP to process the .spz file into a TD-readable format?
