Exporting a colored textured mesh from a colored point cloud

[bgis13]

Hello all,

I have a colored point cloud, and I’d like to generate a textured mesh from it for architectural rendering purposes. I tried creating a mesh and then exporting it as an OBJ file, but the result was not colored (the geometry exported fine, but without any colors/textures).

Is there a straightforward way to generate a colored mesh directly in CloudCompare? Or am I missing a specific step in the workflow?

Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Sadly, CloudCompare cannot generate textures itself.
