Question by drewsolorio · Jun 26, 2016 at 03:08 AM · convert3d modelscloudpointgeometry

Convert 3D model to point cloud - possible?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but is it possible to convert my existing 3D geometry to a point cloud? Everything I've found is doing the opposite - creating meshes from point cloud data.

I have an enormous catalogue of 3D models. My end goal would be to convert a model to a point cloud and use that point cloud as a target to initiate an AR experience (rather than the boring static 2D images mostly used).

Thanks for the feedback!

it's 2020 now, there is a tool called FM POINTS in asset store. it helps you convert any 3D scene into points in Unity3D.
