Because the end file results as a .ply, it is compatible with other viewers, including the SIBR viewer or Polycam.

3D Gaussians plugin continues to be available from the Unreal Engine Store for $99. It still has not been confirmed whether or not you can use this for commercial purposes, so please exercise caution.
