a Gaussian splat file is not one the loader reads (not a 3DGS `.ply` with `x y z f_dc_* opacity scale_* rot_*`, a compressed PLY, a coloured point cloud, or a `.splat` whose size is not whole 32-byte records); nothing was loaded

## Meaning

a Gaussian splat file is not one the loader reads (not a 3DGS `.ply` with `x y z f_dc_* opacity scale_* rot_*`, a compressed PLY, a coloured point cloud, or a `.splat` whose size is not whole 32-byte records); nothing was loaded

## Fix

export the capture as an uncompressed 3DGS `.ply` or a `.splat` file
