mesh vertex colors from pointcloud

Hi, I've made a very nice mesh using poissonrecon and would like to colorize it based on RGB values of the original points that went in to making the mesh. Is there an easy way to do this in CloudCompare?

With the latest version (2.5.3), just after the mesh has been computed CloudCompare asks you if you want to "import the input cloud colors". That's the only way to do what you want for now.

Thanks, and great to see that that feature exists! Unfortunately I was doing the meshing outside of CC since I wanted to use the latest version of PoissonRecon. Any way to access the "import color" feature without using the internal implementation of PoissonRecon?

Indeed, I'll add this to the TODO list (hopefully it should be done quickly as it seems rather easy).

Ok the method is now available through 'Edit > Colors > Interpolate from another entity'.
The trunk version is ready on github (if you can compile the sources). Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next release (probably at the end of next week).
