Mixing the colors is pretty much want I want to do, but unfortunately I can't get my colors to display properly when I import an FBX file, which I'm using because it supports vertex colors. Were you able to take a look at the sample file I sent you?

As an aside, is it possible to change the opacity of the colors applied by the scalar fields? I want to use the compute distances feature to highlight certain parts of a mesh, but I would prefer to merely 'tint' the original color of the mesh with a certain color rather than overwriting its initial ...

I'm generating the file using software that converts photos to 3D meshes. When I open the .fbx file with Windows 3D viewer, I can see the textures fine, but when I open it with CloudCompare, it appears blank (no colors)

I'm trying to use CloudCompare on an .fbx file, and my .fbx file has a .jpg with texture, was well as a .xml metadata file. When I select my .fbx file for important, it loads as a white, blank 3D mesh without any textures. How do I get it to load with textures? I tried selecting the .jpg and .xml fi...

I've managed to figure out how to get vertex colors to display in Unity; you have to write some code to create a custom shader which must then be applied to the material which will be attached to your 3D mesh (.fbx format). I'm however having trouble with the Color Scales Manager. When I change the ...

Thank you for your insightful response, I really appreciate it. I converted the scalar field values to RGB colors as you said, and tried saving it to all the various FBX file formats as well as PLY. However, when I tried viewing them in Windows 3D viewer or Unity, I still only see the original color...

I've been doing some comparisons between similar meshes, and the result shown in CloudCompare is excellent, and almost exactly what I need. when I compare two meshes, the resulting compared mesh highlights the differences in a bright green color. However, when I try to view the mesh in an external v...

Hi Daniel, Could you elaborate a bit more on your experience in doing this in Virtools? Unity is indeed C#. In order to do what I need to do in CloudCompare, I use the 'Align two clouds by picking at least 4 equivalent point pairs' tool and the 'Compute cloud/mesh distance' tool. I would greatly app...

Hello everyone. I'm trying to find a way to 3D scan the environment, and then immediately compare this newly generated 3D mesh with the pre-loaded digital twin of the environment. For example, in the digital twin captured yesterday, a bookshelf has 10 books on it. In the present, the user is looking...
