Вставка

- In this video I show you how to use the incredible Point Cloud Visualizer:
github.com/uhl...
Please note this addon seems to only work in Blender versions up to 2.93. You can download that latest working version here:
www.blender.or...
You can find the example pointcloud here:
skfb.ly/6PMSX
If you like this free version of the addon, you may be interested in the paid version which works with the newer versions of Blender and has lots of new features:
blendermarket....
The pointcloud is made using Reality Capture, but heads up there is a new version of Meshroom available which will also make you a nice pointcloud and it's free and open source: alicevision.or...
Thank you for your effort and the wonderful explanation. Everything works well except for the render and I made sure that the point cloud is visible in the active camera frame.
Wow - what a jaw-dropper!!! Thanks for discovering and sharing!
you are the best, looking for the whole day to get a solution to work with pointclouds, just loving you
It would be so incredible to see a feature that would allow us to do horizontal, vertical animations by excluding and splitting the model by an array number!
Great, I was looking for this!
WOw! Perfectly packed introduction tutorial ! Thanks brother !
super impressive asset !! you saved my life!!
Wow!
And really well nicely presented
thanks

i dont know what i am doing wrong but my png picture is stil only black .....
Hey did you solve this problem ? 😢
this changes everything I thought you could only do this on unity, quick question though is it possible to unlit the ply to remove the lighting?
This is SO useful, thank you so much
Cool how point clouds are supported
thanks man! great help awesome video!
how did the ply file imported with the texture? and material colors?
It's a fantastic tutorial and at least for me it has a superb applicability in biology. Could you please tell me how did you get the scene in your github space? That would be my final piece of the puzzle - to have the pointcloud rendered in such a way that can be visualized on any PC (running windows10) without any other software (that the default 3DViewer in Windows).
Wow very useful add on. thanks for the video. easier than CC.
Can anyone tell me why my vertex colors don’t appear after converting to cubes? I’ve checked the box for colors and a previewing in rendered and material preview but they are all white
Hi, thanks for the tutorial! I tried but my render keep failing and giving me an all black image somehow
@robin_gdwl comment should help you:
Quick tip to safe others from the frustration I had:
The "Render"-option in the addon does not work in any blender version above 2.9
If you want to export images or animations from the visualiser be sure to use a blender 2.8x
Thank you so much man. Helped me a ton 🐈⬛
Life saver! Thank you for this!!!
When using an empty point is the point cloud to scale?
you helped me alot! thanks!
nice tip for the full viewers!
hi,do you know how to export this point cloud to FBX model ,like a normal model
When you import the point cloud is it in real world scale already or does it need to be rescaled inside blender?
I'm waiting for a photogrammetry addon for blender. I know there are free photogrammetry softwares available. But I'd like to be able to do it all in Blender.

How can i turn these point clouds into an actual mesh?
Many Thanks. How can you convert it to usable mesh ?
Hello, I have just started learning Blender and I am using Blender 4.1. I am trying to render from a point cloud, but no matter what format I use (I even tried the files from your video) , I cannot see any colors. When I first downloaded it, the point cloud visualizer was not available, so I found a file on GitHub and added it to my Blender. I think I am experiencing a similar issue with the colors. Can you please help me with how to fix this?
so cool
This is nice. But what could this addon be used for? One of the uses that I could think of is for mocking up the background for animating much more precisly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Is there any trial of the newest, paid version, available for, say, two-week testing without having to pay for the full version?
Word thats awesome
Is there any automatic way to convert a point cloud to a set of objects?
Does this have the ability to deal with ply point cloud sequences? For example, if you capture with a volumetric video at 24 FPS with an app like Record3D, and export the data as a ply sequence, can this add on cache/cycle through the point clouds frame by frame?
Troooop bien merci beaucoup !!
Sorry for my ignorance. What is the advantage of using point cloud rather than other technics like photogrammetry in the video game industry?
Also, is possible to model in 3D with point cloud?
@@jojomama3028 thanks for your explanation. So point clouds are more suitable for survey and construction industries but not for game development. Im correct?
I don't understand why my .ply is totaly white whitout any colors. (upload from Kiri app). Any idea ?
u rr incredibleeeeeeee!
Thank you for this! is there a way to turn point cloud into 3D mesh?
Yes with realitycapture!
Nice work! Is it possible to change the color of a subset of points? For example, change all the points belong to bed to blue... points are of course selected manually.
I'm not sure how you'd do it using point cloud visualiser but you might be interested in cloudcompare point classification which allows you to train for detecting certain object types and colour them: www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/index.php?title=CANUPO_(plugin)
@@Nicko16 Thanks a lot! I will try that.
Can you view the point cloud in 3d in vr?
Hello good afternoon, great tutorial, but I have a question, when I try to load the models in ply, it seems that everything is fine, but they do not appear anywhere. You know it can be. a greeting
Thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
I'm importing a ply file that *only* has x,y,z data and I'm struggling to create a mesh out of it with this tool (or anything really). Any idea on what to do with limited data? Getting a lot of errors saying I dont have color data.
Does anyone know why Blender does not show anything after I press DRAW? My PLY is 600+ MB
Hi, what if I want to create a point cloud for existing buildings I have, do you know how can I make that in Blender? Thanks!
Could you please tell me why my rendering is still empty after I followed your steps?
Hello! I'm having the same problem... Were you able to fix it?
Every time I reder my pointcloud the render saves just like the original pointcloud without any changes I did in blender ( adjustment of color/ size). Does anyone have an idea what I do wrong?
how do I turn it in to textured mesh?
Hello. Very interesting tutorial. I have a request. I would like to know, if I can use this for my purpose. I have two point clouds ( .xyz format) . Can I use this Blender for comparing them and to identify the difference between them? And in addition, I have a .pcd file saved from the rosbag file of kinect 360 camera. I could not find a way to save the 3d pointcloud in ROS, I am so far able to just save the just the outline of the area in points, not the actual 3d pointcloud. Thank you. Karishma
You can import .ply and .ABC files natively, apparently there are add ons for XYZ and PCD so if you wanted to import them compare the point data.. visually? or I guess viewing the statistics that should be possible
Curious what process did you use to create the point cloud initially? Is it a laser scan or done using photogrammetry?
It's photogrammetry done using a smartphone camera and reality capture.
@@Nicko16 It is a really clean looking scan, nicely done, might I ask how many photos roughly were used for this?
@@sjdennis I think it was about 300
Can you render in cycles with it, or eevee ?
no render using evee or cycles?
thanksfor vid x
i think you have the same issue as me and @robin_gdwl use blender 2.8x instead of 2.9x
after pressing "draw" all i see are white dots? where are the colors?
Why did I put the camera and still don't render the image 5:15
Do you solve this problem 😢
thanks a lot. I love you.
there is a way to make an interaction between every points and the blender forces? (like wind or vortex for instance)
Did you find an answer to this?
Is there a way I can light the point cloud myself?
Thanks a lot
can it make square points instead circles?
I have an issue with an exporting point cloud from meshroom. When i import the ply file into this add-on it says that "missing vector normal" so the point cloud has no texture (even in Cycles). Ithink i messed up with meshroom nodes in some way. Any tips how to fix this problem? i would be very grateful if u could help me to solve this problem ;(
I fixed this by bringing the PLY into cloudcompare, clicking the cloud until the yellow box shows up, then top left edit>normals>compute normals>save as .ply
It also convert point cloud into mesh?
Question is there any way to convert this to an obj?
Doesnt work for me on 3.2.0 :(
Nothing happends when I load the python script
Yo when i render - it come up blank any ideas ? i cane see it in the view port just not in the render cam - in evee or cycles - please help
Hello! I'm having the same problem... Were you able to fix it? Thanks!
I imported a ply file. The file's color didn't show. only no color pointcloud. may I know what is the reason?
You need to make sure you’re exporting color from whatever photogrammetry program you are using
This is fcking amazing !
in the end :) 😍
How did you make the point cloud ?
Hey Nicko! when I load my PLY i dont have a "draw" option. Any thoughts on how to fix that?
when you hit the key 'N' on your keyboard, a window/bar should pop up from the right.
good Video!
how can i import multiple PointCloud models into the same workspace in blender?
Create a new empty, load and draw the PLY file. You can then do Filter -> Join in the Point Cloud Visualizer menu.
Do u consider this better then mesheoom?
Why and when do you use this? What does point cloud do.
There are various way point clouds can be helpful. I use it for accident reconstruciton.
75 $ very very high price for import pointcloud in Blender. Educational version ArchiCAD, Revit support import point cloud, and it a free and not need to pay any more.
can someone tell me how to create the ptogrammetry of the room?
usa a camera to take pictures, and then use the pictures to create the cloud in some software (Agisoft)
the render doesn't work why would that be

Hey! Just downloaded the 1.9 version. Using Blender 2.8 on Mac M1 I load the point cloud in and select draw but see nothing in the viewport. Any ideas why? Thank you!
