cheers! in the end, we left the client to deal with their own lidar wrangling, using the lidar software to kick out rudimentary animation....
i just know in a few weeks they'll come back wanting us to take over.... hehe be interested to see your results a _____ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Chris Marshall Sent: 24 January 2013 12:33 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: terrain ascii xyz import Hey Adrian, That's really Cool!!

It was actually possible to shrinkwrap a grid onto the pointcloud. The slight problem with this is that you need to use one of the Closest Vertex/Surface options, for it to work. On terrain that has plenty of elevation, the grid gets deformed across laterally in places. So it was a case of simply scaling the pointcloud to 0.01 in the y, shrinkwrap the grid onto that, freeze, then scale the grid y to 100 again. It needs a little filtering of points, but that works fine. Gives an acceptable result. _____ No virus found in this message.
