Hi
How can I get color information such as the one I get from ShadeVis saved to file, I have try several file format and don't see any color being included.

PS: This tool is really cool, I have been using meshlab for years, and I am thinking of make a jump from meshlab to this one if it is kept maintaining in the future.

Hi,

the ShadeVis tool generates a scalar field (one scalar - between 0 and 1 for ShadeVis - per point).

Use the "Edit > Scalar fields > Convert to RGB" function to make a RGB color field. Then it should be ok with about any format.
