PotreeConverter 2.0 with PLY and PTX files?
I tried converting with the new version but to new avail. Does it only support .las/Laz files now.
preliminary investigation of the source code suggests only a loader for the latter.
Hello, search for "ply" in the PotreeConverter issues list and you will find lots of them like #462 - which states that ply lacks bounding box information required for computing the octree extent. If you want to convert a ply, either use Potree Converter 1.x or convert your ply files to las, which you can do using CloudCompare (even with the CC CLI if you want to batch file conversions).
@jo-chemla .LAS is a obsolete format, .e57 is for a decade the standard for the industry, it's a complex format. .ply is the way to go, it's easy to compute a bounding box from 3D points.... we are not asking .e57 for an input, but .ply is a minimum.....
