Hi

It is a ascii *.pts piont cloud file
How to import it to blender?
or
How to convert it for import to blender?
Thank you.

[ADDED]
I open *.pts in CloudCompare and save it as *.ply.
Blender has ply importer… but… it eat all my memory and dont load file (no error, just freeze)
Then i successfully open ply in Meshlab, but…

688 Megabytes file :slight_smile: Make smaller sections of point clouds with CloudCompare and save separate files. After that import.

Ok!
I found the best way!
Open .pts file in CloudCompare (why pts don’t opens in Meshlab?) and save it to .ply.
Open .ply in Meshlab and folow this tutorial http://vimeo.com/20933872
Save mesh to .ply again and open it in blender.
That’s it)))
