Normals computation error - on version 17_11_2024

[BSHF1]

Hi there,

I am running into an issue with my Normals computation. Essentially, on the latest release of Cloud Compare the Normals do not compute properly, and display my point cloud in all white regardless of Object view, however when I try this on 4_11_24 version with the same datasets the process works.

I think this may be related to the output scales, or perhaps I have changed one of my settings in the latest release of CC which may be causing the issue. Documentation available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1buI ... sp=sharing

Let me know if there is any further information I can provide.

Ok, interesting feedback! I'll look into it ASAP.

Ok, so there was indeed a bug impacting m3c2 and some other tools relying on scalar fields. Here is the fixed version:

However, for the normals, I was not able to reproduce your issue. It looks more as if the lights were off (have you tried to toggle them on and off with F6 and F7?).
