Imagine working directly on the raw point cloud from your laser scanner survey, without data loss or imprecise 2D projections. PCM Core is the heart of the PCM pipeline, a lightweight and high-performance engine that elevates Blender to professional level for importing, visualizing, and dynamically clipping massive point clouds.
Key Features: Multi-Format Import: Load PCD (native), PLY, LAS, LAZ, E57 with automatic dependencies.
GPU-Optimized Visualization: Millions of points in real time with dynamic LOD (Preview Limit and Interactive Limit) for absolute fluidity.
Prism Clipping: Create precise sections (plans, elevations) by manipulating an interactive bounding box – view updates instantly for tracing architectural lines.
Professional Controls: Point size, transparency, visible/total points stats – all from the N Sidebar panel.
Why Choose It? Say goodbye to flat orthophotos: explore real 3D depth, verify overlapping geometries, and generate faithful restitutions. Perfect for SLAM interiors/exteriors or static laser. First in a suite (PC Clean coming soon). GPL-compliant, one-click install.
