[EDIT]
Looks like I’ve managed to answer my own question…
The very last file format that I hadn’t tried up until now was .LAS, and low and behold, LAS file format is the only one that correctly holds the RGB info.
So to answer my own question - use .LAS format for colour!
Hi.
Newbie here when it comes to UE4. but an extensive user of lidar data for surveying purposes.
Been playing around with this with great excitement at what it can already help me accomplish, and excited about future feature to potentially come,
Having said that, I am running into an annoying situation with colour.
When I set my cloud colour source to “data” it is not showing the true colour, only a grey cloud.
The colour source options for “Elevation” and “Position” show colour, but just not data source.
I have exported my scan out into many different readable formats (pts,xyz,las,txt, etc) yet can not get colour to come through.
Any ideas?
