When importing the .ply file into Blender 2.8, use this option to show the vertex colors:
The Stop-motion-OBJ add-on for Blender supports PLY files, allowing an animation to be made:
To see the vertex colors when rendering, make a new material and click here to set the material base color:
and then here to choose vertex colors:
Result:
(This was with the Eevee renderer. Can we do the same thing with Cycles?)
