What programs can save *.rcs *.rcp point clouds?
« on: February 07, 2016, 02:58:53 PM »
I need a point cloud from a friend to get into my 3ds max. He uses agisoft photoscan which is able to export point clouds into many formats, but sadly none is compatible with 3ds max. 3ds Max allows to import only rcs and rcp formats which are from autodesk recap (which i do not own and it isnt free AFAIK).

So i want to convert the point clouds from one of the formats supported by agisoft photoscan in some OTHER software to rcp or rcs (agisoft cannot save directly to rcs rcp) and import that into 3ds max.

What ALL programs can save/export into rcs or rcp formats? Recap, what else? Autocad? Inventor? Something else...even free? (believe it or not, this information is hard/unable to be found even on the internet).

JohnyJoe - have a look at this thread on the exact same subject - it suggests a couple of options

Thanks dave but i have found that forum even before on my own, it really doesnt help, as far as i know, recap is not anymore available as freeware in any version (?) And the forum doesnt say if Revit can actually export rcs or rcp... So can someone help (tell me what program fopr sure does)?

this link suggests it's still available free, haven't tried it lately as i still have it installed from a couple of years ago:
