how to import las/laz files
steffnorbert opened this issue · 6 comments
Can someone guide me to import a .las or .laz file into Unity. I've bought and downloaded the Pointcloud Viewer and Tools extension imported the package, but can't seem to find a way to import the pointcloud.
Note: I'm more used to autodesk and GIS softwares.
Added 3 sample videos for LAS conversion:
LAS to V1 (legacy format) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O80zDO4g15g
LAS to V2 (single file faster) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmyIY61ThvE *this works for LAZ also
LAS to V3 (tiled format) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVFSFTyQhp8 *this works for LAZ also
Notes:
- LAS files can be converted inside editor, into V1 binary format (which is fine for smaller clouds). If need faster loading or larger clouds, need to use external converter from https://github.com/unitycoder/PointCloudConverter/releases (it can be used from command line or as standalone, in the videos i use it as standalone (GUI)).
@steffnorbert can you send image in email (my email is in the documentation pdf) *you replied to github message, so it didn't include attachments. (and these are public messages)
I uploaded it here. can't seem to find your e-mail.
ok that looks strange,
if you can email your source las file? (one possibility is that las file contains extra data)
or if you want to test, open your source file in CloudCompare,
then export as LAS/LAZ (1.4)
ok heres the issue, #133
closing this one, can follow up on that 133 issue, if need to use the inside editor converter.
