cinemaplugins: LAZPoint

LAZPoint ist eine neues Plugin für  CINEMA 4D um Lidar-daten bzw. Punktwolken zu Laden und
zu Rendern:

• "Load massive, full color LIDAR data, directly into Cinema4D using LAS,LAZ , XYZ or PTS format, and render it, without any messing around.
• Solve all known geographic reference systems. With LAZPoint, you don’t need any other program to work with geographically referenced LIDAR data.
• Includes the amazing LAZRender engine, for fast rendering of huge point clouds, making this the easiest "load and render ", LIDAR solution, ever built.
• Handle hundreds of millions of points, in your editor, in realtime, even on moderate hardware.
• Create Point clouds from your scenes, by simply rendering them, and having LAZPoint capture your render for you, to a point cloud.
• Create Point clouds for any place on earth, when combined with DEM Earth.
• Work with color point clouds, exported from programs such as Agisoft Photoscan, or RealityCapture .
• Work with several output modes, such as XParticles, hair, points with RGB vertex maps, and more, for easy rendering in 3rd party engines."
