Export Formats for Thinkbox Frost (3dsmax Plugin)
« on: April 20, 2015, 01:59:08 PM »
We use Thinkbox Frost a lot and find it super-fast for point-cloud meshing. It would be great if there was a simple way to work between Photoscan and Frost. I've requested they support your export formats, but it would also be great if you looked to export to a format they can already import from. At the moment I have to go via Geomagic to convert to XYZ.

PTS
PTX
LAS
XYZ
CSV
PRT (Thinkbox Particle Files)
BIN rpc (Realflow Particles files)

Why not edit the XYZ point cloud from PS to match the specifications for CSV: http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/frost-particle-file-formats/#csv_file_format

Or probably even just export as XYZ from photoscan and then change the .txt extension to .xyz, which appears to be also supported.
