You can use this Custom PLY Import method if you want to skip the "Photogrammetry and SV nodes method"

• ALTERNATIVE WAY: use custom PLY to load Colors into custom attribute of geometry nodes then do your rice instance: https://github.com/TombstoneTumbleweedArt/import-ply-as-verts/tree/916bbd32af17916ee7cd6c9a6256abc8f62b68a6

• Blender 3.2 new PLY import will probably bring in Color data attribute for geometry nodes and point cloud can render the attribute "Color" like shown here by Michael Prostka. https://youtu.be/6iqVv8Xii-w
