SuperSplat supports loading gaussian splat scenes in .ply, .compressed.ply and .splat format.

Note that only .ply files containing 3D Gaussian Splat data can be loaded. If you attempt to load any other type of data from a .ply file, it will fail.

There are four ways that you can load a gaussian splat file:

  1. Drag and drop one or more .ply files from your file system into SuperSplat's client area.

  2. Select the Scene > Open menu item and select one or more .ply files from your file system.

  3. If you have installed SuperSplat as a PWA, you can simply double-click a .ply file in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (macOS).

  4. Use the load query parameter. This is in the form: https://playcanvas.com/supersplat/editor?load=<PLY_URL>. An example would be:

    https://playcanvas.com/supersplat/editor?load=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/willeastcott/assets/main/biker.ply

    This is a useful mechanism for sharing splats with other people (say on social platforms like X and LinkedIn).
