Disclosed is a system and method for rendering point clouds via a hybrid data point and construct visualization. The system receives a point cloud of a three-dimensional ("3D") environment, and differentiates a first set of the point cloud data points from a second set of the data points based on a position of each data point relative to a specified render position. The system generates a first visualization from values of each of the first set of data points, and a second visualization from values of a set of constructs that replace the second set of data points. Each construct has a polygonal shape and a singular set of values defined from the values of two or more of the second set of data points. The system presents a final render of the 3D environment from the render position by combining the first visualization with the second visualization.
