How Do I Export a Pointcloud

[johko]

Hey,

maybe a stupid question: How do I export a Pointcloud() object? I want to save it as obj or ply (or whatever is best) but can't seem to figure out the right way to do it with pytorch3d

[bottler]

If pcl is a Pointclouds object containing one point cloud, you can save it as a ply with::

from pytorch3d.io import IO
IO().save_pointcloud(pcl, "output_pointcloud.ply")

We don't currently support obj or other formats for point clouds. If you have a batch of point clouds you have to split it and save each one to a separate file.

Thank you @bottler

I also came across this page: https://pytorch3d.org/docs/io and wondered why it did not work.
Now I know, the example on the docs page has IO().save_point_cloud() instead of IO().save_pointcloud()
Maybe you can fix this :)
