Point Cloud Plugin

Hi phobos,
thank you so much for your answer, it works!

While playing around I was wondering, whether I could somehow change the color of the points in the cloud, without reassigning the point cloud data as shown in your “runtime operations” tutorial. I imagine that getting all the data and change the color of some points, and then reassigning and rebuilding the cloud is rather inefficient. I tried setting the color on the reference to the points of the cloud, but that did not seem to work.

Another thing i was wondering about is the Scale / Offset setting. with my tool I register collision somewhere near the cloud and not where the actual points are rendered. Are the offsets only applied to the renderer?

Thank you so much again!

Glad it worked

Currently, the cloud needs rebuilding to propagate any changes to the buffer on the GPU, otherwise, you are changing the values stored in RAM only (I have a potential solution for it tho, which I’ll try to test soon).
The scale and offset are applied to the point itself, so it should be the same everywhere.
