Blender Market – Point Cloud Visualizer 3.0.0.12 Free Download

Convert points to various Blender data (mesh, instancer, particle system, Geometry Nodes instances, Geometry Nodes points) for rendering with any render engine.

Key Features:

• Display hundreds of millions of colored points in 3d viewport, limited only by system and gpu memory.
• Any Blender object can be used as container for points, points are not part of Blender data (until converted to) for maximal performance.
• Supported file formats – read: PLY, LAS/LAZ, E57, PCD, any text based file format such as PTS, XYZ, TXT, CSV etc., write: PLY.
• Custom PLY reader/writer optimized for point data and performance.
• Display points with number of various shaders, display point normals, use clipping planes, display scalar values (value remapping in range, color schemes).
• Mesh Retopology tools that utilize vertices snapping to points and mesh drawn with custom shaders over points
• Cleanup points directly with modal selection tools or by using Blender edit mode with temporary mesh linked with points using Blender tools.
• Abundance of editing filters: subsample/voxelize/slice points, crop, boolean, color adjustment, remove by color or value, project on mesh, remove duplicates, estimate normals, point set registration, surface reconstruction.
• Builtin OpenGL rendering to image or images sequence with or viewport or transparent background.
• Convert points to various Blender data (mesh, instancer, particle system, Geometry Nodes instances, Geometry Nodes points) for rendering with any render engine.
• Generate point clouds from mesh surface, mesh volume, particle system, Geometry Nodes vertices with attributes.
• Working with PLY sequences, playback, batch convert, filter and export.
• Can be used as debugging tool to display 3d location/normal/color data with easy to use controller class.

PCV 3 Alpha new features and info

Please see FAQ section for answers to common questions

Upcoming features already available under Experimental section:

• Packer: Store loaded points as hidden mesh datablock with attributes in blend file.
• • Automatically restore and draw points from datablock at blend file load, save points to datablock on blend file save. More info here in documentation.
  • Viewer: Load and display very large datasets that does not fit into gpu memory. Octree, Level of Detail, Camera Frustum, Threading, PLY, LAS/LAZ and E57, all of it is there.. More info here in documentation.
