Create a surface

Post by Hogan99 »

Hi Daniel, I need your help.

I have created a point cloud and I opened in "cloudcompare". But, I need to transform the point cloud on a surface through "triangulation". How can do it?

Thanks so much.

It depends on your cloud.

If it's a clean 2.5D cloud (i.e rather flat) then you can simply use 'Edit > Mesh > Delaunay 2.5D'.

Otherwise if it's a true 3D cloud (or if it's noisy), then you'd better go with Poisson. You can take a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS3Krxcy2j0 for instance. The hardest part is to get good normals (and it's not clearly explained here I believe ;)
