Lighting on the wrong side of pointcloud
« on: April 04, 2024, 11:11:08 AM »
i'm trying to combine a laserscan with a photogrammetry model. the laserscan is made with a faro stationary scanner and the photogrammetry model is done with a mavic 3 enterprise.
both models align and look great but the lighting of the laserscan is on the wrong side. what i mean is that the outside of the model is lit but the inside looks like theres is a shadow. i think it has to do with normals in different programs but i don't know how to fix it.
the laserscan is E57 format.

any help would be appreciated :D

Hello Runaround,

If you are confident that all normals are inverted, you can select all the points of the imported laser scan in the Model view and then use Tools Menu -> Point Cloud -> Invert Point Normals command.
