3D Point Clouds in Blender: Starter Guide

In this video, you'll learn how to integrate and process 3D Point Clouds in Blender. We address the complete workflow from point data I/O to scene setup and rendering in Blender. I illustrate the case of an Indoor Extraction Scenario where you would need to create a stunning rendering to show off the best route to take to gather an artifact of interest.

I go through a 9-step process that follows the different chapters.
