Point Cloud Plugin

Brand new to Unreal Engine apart from playing some of the games. When I saw this plugin, I thought it would be ideal way to navigate around some LIDAR data of interest.
Everything works fine, the landscape xyz imports great and went for a walk around amongst the points, looks pretty cool, but not easy to make out what is what.
Is there an easy was to “solidify” the points? Ideally I would like to use different classifications of the point cloud (eg ground, buildings, vegetation, etc) as separate imports, but am I missing something, will I be able to create actual surfaces to apply textures to?

Oh,and is it possible to change the color range applied to the height?

Hi there!

I’m glad you enjoy the plugin.

​​​​​​Converting the points into surfaces (triangulation) is not available yet, but it is on my future Todo list.​

It would be ideal if you had access to RGB or at least Intensity data to go with that cloud. Would make it easy to identify different elements then.

​​​​​You can modify the master material (found in Plugin content) to adjust the color range or, ​​​​​if you just want to modify it for a single cloud, create a copy of the master material, tweak the colors to your liking in the copied version and then assign the modified one as custom material to the point cloud in question (expand the Rendering section of the settings).

Thanks for the suggestion, ​​​​​I will try to add the ability to allow modifying the color range directly through settings to simplify the process
