My Question

I wish to have mesh vertex colors from the loaded texture file. 035_power_drill_custom.zip

among the uploaded directory: textured_simple_1.obj is vertex colored from meshlab but when loaded into o3d it shows uniform color

textured_simple.obj has a linked texture file.

i considered converting to a colored pointcloud but open3d mesh.sample_points_uniformly() only captures point and normal data not colors from a textured mesh.

is there a way to compare mesh.vertices to the mesh.textures and extract corresponding colors?

TIA
