- A point cloud file must have the .asc, .pcd or .ply extension.
- Each line in the file must list the X, Y and Z coordinates of a point.
- The coordinates must be separated by spaces.
- The coordinates must use a decimal point, not a decimal comma.
Sample point cloud file
0 0 0 1.4562 -7.2354 12.2367 5.9423 3.1728 -17.6439
For testing you can use this file, which is a low polygon version of the Stanford Bunny.
