If it's done this way, i'm not so much fussed then :) On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 2:28 AM, Jace Priester < jacepries...@threespaceimaging.com> wrote: > Custom data layers can be present, or not. The whole point is that they're > optional. This means that the color/size CDLs will only be in use when >

Custom data layers can be present, or not. The whole point is that they're optional. This means that the color/size CDLs will only be in use when colored point cloud data is imported. This means zero change and zero extra memory usage for all other meshes. On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 1:07 PM, Serge

Per-vertex color and size is not something i'll want to be added to general vertex. This will lead to much higher memory consumption of every mesh, and this could become really an issue for modelers. That'd also lead to wish being able to render such vertices as "strand"? And mixing "point cloud" v

Meshes are very sufficient for handling point cloud data as I have already discussed. They are a collection of vertices, stored efficiently and rendered to the viewport efficiently. They are simply lacking per-vertex color and size, which is what my code adds. There is no need for a new object type

Hi, Point cloud reconstruction could be quite a benefitial project for blender if fully/properly done. There're basis stuff for this already present in libmv (in terms of reconstruction/bundling), would need to implement correspondence matching tho and outlier filtering (which would also be needed

Hi, I wish to participate in upcoming GSOC. I want to discuss couple of ideas. It would be great if I can have some feedback on these :). I have described these briefly below. Kindly let me know if further details/ clarifications are required. 1) Automated rigid structure reconstruction from set
