Point Cloud data to Texture

[daniel]

So CloudCompare does not generate a texture, it just transfers the per-point colors to per-vertex colors.

You can use the RASTERIZE tool.

This will generate a texture of the RGB, or whatever scalar you require, but you'll likely be interested in the RGB.

Then, for the mesh in a 3d editing program add a simple planar UV mapping and apply the rasterized texture.
