Exporting a colored textured mesh from a colored point cloud
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2025 9:42 pm
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.
