Colors not showing correctly in Unreal 5.3.2

[egmontmayer]

Thanks for sharing this amazing plugin.

I just wanted to report, that I have tried it with Unreal 5.3.2 and i am experiencing some issues with the color shader:

The splats seam to be present but the colors are not rendered.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the Plugin and activate it
2. User plugin to import a PLY file.
3. Drag imported asset into the open level or open the asset in the BluePrint Editor
4. I can see the splat but it is grey.

I would expect to see the splat rendering in the viewport.

Screenshots

Desktop

• OS: Windows 10
• Unreal 5.3.2 DirectX 12
• RTX2080Ti 11G VRAM / Driver Version 536.23

Additional context When opening a splat for the first time in the Blueprint Editor after import, I was able to see the colors for a short moment. (less than a second) before they dissapear.

There is an error in the colose:

I had the same isssue today when triing this stuff the first time. I started a new project and enabled RayTracing. Imported the .ply via XVERSE Plugin und everything looked grey and weirtd. Then i created a new project without raytracing and everything worked.
