Sample LiDAR simulation for your Unreal Engine projects with a lightweight, fully customizable C++ component designed for robotics, autonomous driving, AI perception, digital twins, and simulation workflows.

This asset performs real-time raycast-based LiDAR scanning, generates 3D point cloud data, visualises scan results in the viewport, and exports captured data directly to the industry-standard PLY format for use in external applications such as CloudCompare, MeshLab, MATLAB, Python, ROS, and other point cloud processing tools.

Whether you're building autonomous vehicle simulations, robotic perception systems, AI training environments, or research prototypes, this component provides a flexible foundation that integrates seamlessly into Unreal Engine projects.
