Convert whole folder of .ply files (which are recorded point cloud frames) into animated .bin file

Experimental tool is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/itil42g255u7ali/uPointCloudTools5b.zip?dl=0

*note: in the current asset store version, 2gb is the maximum .bin file size that the viewer can load. (will be fixed in next update)

Viewing generated .bin file

Copy your.bin file to unity project, for example Assets/StreamingAssets/your.bin
Open BinaryViewerDX11.scene (from PointCloudTools/PointCloudBinaryViewerDX11/Scenes)
Select "@BinaryViewer" gameobject from scene
Set your file path into FileName - field, for example "StreamingAssets/your.bin"
Check that you have some proper DX11 material attached to @BinaryViewer, CloudMaterial-field (for example "PointCloudColorSizeDX11v2.mat")
Hit play to test
