PointCloud2Mesh
- Point Cloud input file that you want to convert into binary point cloud
- Filename & size is displayed under this field
- Read RGB values : Reads color values (usually expected to be in this order X Y Z R G B)
- Read intensity value : Reads intensity value (usually expected to be in this order X Y Z I)
- Read normal values (PLY) : Reads vertex normals and assigns them to output mesh, only supported on PLY format currently
- Scale values : multiplies XYZ values with given value (for scaling between millimeters / meters etc)
- Flip Y & Z values : In Unity Y is UP
- Auto-offset near 0,0,0 : If the first row of your data is for example “10.1192 5.2643 0.5481”, then we’ll use that as an offset value, first point location becomes: X-10.1192=0, Y-5.2643=0, Z-0.5481=0 and later points will have this same offset subtracted from XYZ data, so the cloud will be nearer to 0,0,0 position in scene
- Add Manual Offset : You can also add manual offset, that value is subtracted from XYZ data
- Optimize points : Sorts point by X axis, so that mesh pieces get culled from view better *But not recommended yet, because in some cases the points lose lots of precision when they are sorted
- Create LODS : Experimental features, creates LOD meshes with less points (but lods are not grouped yet, so it doesn't decrease draw calls.. just less vertices on screen)
- Decimate points : Removes every Nth point *You should rather use real point cloud filtering tools to create evenly distributed points (like the filters in Catia)
- Vertices per mesh : 65000 is the maximum vertices on a single mesh object
- Mesh material : For meshes, you should use the non-dx11 materials, or you can test any other materials and shaders also. Shader needs to support vertex colors, if you want to see point cloud in colors.
