# ply2splat

A Rust crate and CLI tool for converting Gaussian Splatting `.ply` files to the `.splat` format.

## Features

- **High Performance**: Utilizes parallel processing (via `rayon`) for conversion and sorting.
- **Fast I/O**: Uses zero-copy serialization and large buffers for maximum throughput.
- **Correctness**: Implements the standard conversion logic including Spherical Harmonics (SH) to color conversion and geometric transformations.

## Installation

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/bastikohn/ply2splat.git
cd ply2splat
cargo build --release
```

The binary will be available at `target/release/ply2splat`.

## Usage

```bash
ply2splat --input input.ply --output output.splat
```

## Development

### Requirements

- Rust (latest stable)
- Nix (optional, for reproducible environment)

### Running Tests

```bash
cargo test
```

### Fuzzing

The crate includes fuzzing targets to ensure stability against malformed inputs.

```bash
# Install cargo-fuzz
cargo install cargo-fuzz

# Run fuzzing target
cargo fuzz run fuzz_conversion
```

### Development Environment

This project supports both **Nix** and **Devcontainers** for a reproducible development environment.

- **Nix**: `nix develop` will enter a shell with Rust and dependencies configured.
- **Devcontainer**: Open the folder in VS Code and accept the prompt to reopen in container.
