Visualizing massive point clouds can be a real headache. If you struggle to handle massive point clouds — I’m talking billion-point scale — or massive 3D meshes with many triangles, handling various file formats, and you don’t have the coding skills to automate everything, then I have a solution for you.

This quick tutorial shows how to start handling and visualizing this data on your local machine.

My 3D Foreword

We now have unique tools that make it easy and fast to handle big data, even without coding. This opens up a world of possibilities for sharing and collaborating on 3D data, even with people who aren’t tech-savvy.

Let me detail a simple workflow that combines three robust no-code solutions:

  • A command-line interface (CLI),
  • A Software that has CLI…
