Any one tried to use Laser scan Point data in Blender yet?
I have been playing with point data of buildings and machines at work in blender and I am having some success.
So far I have made use of a basic script that takes a TXT file with XYZ data and loads all the point data into blender - perfect!
What I want to know is can a script be made that would also use extra point data (RGB values) for each point and is there a way that blender can render the information - pref. without using the Halo effect.
I don’t want the points to scale in size as they move towards the camera.(Halo problem)
Also I only want to use the points not a mesh.
Some great effects could be achieved with this technique.
Ideas anyone?
