There's two ways to create a mesh (depending on the cloud shape, etc.).
Delaunay for 2.5D clouds (very simple):

And Poisson Recon for 3D clouds (and with a generally smoother result) but you'll need good normals to get a decent result:

If you need help, don't hesitate to send me the cloud (cloudcompare [at] danielgm.net)
