BSLIVE Point Cloud Visualizer for Blender 2.79 and Blender 2.80
Thanks to this add-on by UHLIK, we finally have a Point Cloud Visualization addon that works perfectly in Blender, both for older Blender 2.79 and newer Blender 2.80 with Eevee fast renderer.
What I am explaining in this quick demo:
– How to use the PCV addon
– How to ”hack” it using SVerchok addon so that it can display animated point cloud
– How to render it out
Ideally I am hoping Uhlik or other developers could help in ”exposing” the point cloud data that we can see being visualized into data that we can edit and use with Blender Particles and Instancing etc. Big wishlist!
NOTE:
I am using iPhone X 3D scanning with custom app by Heges App developer. You can use any 3D scanner that allows you to capture PLY with vertex color and vertex normal.
Keep in minds that point cloud data is huge, even a few seconds of 30fps point cloud will give you back a GB.
