Load PTS Point Cloud Files into VRED

VRED-loadPointCloudPTS

Use the script to import a Point Cloud from a PTS file.

Runs only in VRED<2021 as this script is written in Python 2.0

Use the Script VRED-reducePointsPTS.py to reduce the Amount of Points of the PTS. You might want to start with 1000000 in the first place to get a feeling for import times and performance.

• Paste the Script VRED-loadPointCloudPTS.py to VRED
• Please change the path in line 36 to your PTS file path
• (optional) Change the Resolution of res (default 500)
• Execute Script

Concept of the script

• Polyplanes are created with a resolution res (default 500*500 = 250000 vertices)
• Each Vertex will be set to the position of a point of the Point Cloud
• The Rendering of the Mesh will change to "Type 0", this stands for rendered as point
• The Vertex Color will be changed according to the RGB Value of the Point Cloud
• A Chunk material will be added to the Point Cloud. You can change the Size of the Point in the Node Editor.
