Hello team, I’m experiencing visual artifacts when loading a compressed `.ply` Gaussian Splatting file. I have already done the following troubleshooting: 1. The file works perfectly in other viewers like SuperSplat and StorySplat. 2. I have updated my project to use the latest **preview versions** from the CDN. The problem still persists, so it seems to be a bug in the loader. .ply compresed storyplat ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/0/a/0a0d93fe8b19f1a33f3e438f58f271b9566b3dfb.jpeg) .ply compresed supersplat ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/e/a/eaeba6fd04b1bece8107a0d3eaff322f3e0f65fc.jpeg) and .ply compresed in Babylon js ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/3/b/3b0ce1887e9b1b19e9fe84d3d7dfa36bd68926f5.jpeg) I can provide the .ply file if needed, but since it’s a proprietary work file, I would prefer to share it privately. Thank you for your time and help. ---

Might be something with the sorting as well. Do you have the uncompressed .ply available? Did you test it with Babylon.js sandbox? ---
