point cloud from metashape come all white

Post by ROSSIO »

hi guys,

Today i was exporting a dense cloud from metashape, the ideia was to use it in cloudcompare but when i import the dense cloud all points from it are white, the point are considered vertices, can this be the problem since "OBJ." dont suport colors ,do someone knows why this happens and how to fix it.

Indeed, normally OBJ files don't contain per-vertex colors. Only materials and textures.

So either you open the OBJ file as a mesh, and then sample points on this mesh.

Else... if you open the OBJ file, do you see maybe RGB components after the XYZ coordinates of vertices? (some software tools use this trick to export RGB colors on vertices, even if it's not official).
