Define default color ramp

Post by slush_fund »

In Cloud Compare, is it possible to set the default color ramp to viridis?

I'm working with terrestrial lidar.
I usually color the point cloud using the Z values as follows:
Edit / Colors / Color ramp / Default / (direction Z)

How can I can the color ramp from RGB to viridis?

You would have to do it another way:
- use 'Edit > Scalar fields > Export coordinate(s) to SF'
- select the Z coordinate (should be the default)
- change the cloud current color scale to Viridis.

Thanks, Daniel.
I'm a noob with cloud compare.
How do I "Change the cloud current color scale to Viridis."?

Select the cloud, kook for the 'Color Scale' section of the cloud properties, and change the 'Current' combo-box from 'Blue > Green > Yellow > Red' to 'Viridis'.
