calculate density as SF

Post by Kozz »

Hello,

is it possible to calculate "density as AF" on a cloud/mesh outside of the tool "Poisson Surface Reconstruction" when meshing a cloud?

I am looking to import a Geometry (obj or FBX..) into CC and add the density as AF to it, filtering out low density areas (large triangles etc.)
So far, I wasn't able to find a tool to generate such SF.

So the Poisson Reconstruction density is the cloud density near the reconstructed triangle vertices.

But you can definitely compute a cloud density (see https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/index.php/Density). And you could compute the density of the vertices of a mesh the same way... or even compute the density on a cloud and then interpolate this scalar field at the vertices of a mesh (with Edit > Scalar fields > Interpolate from another entity).
