CloudCompare forum

Is there a plugin or shader that would enable a 'soft transparency' effect for pointclouds in CloudCompare similar to that outlined in the following paper: http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/Publications/2018/SPDCG18/

The ability to display structures with this kind of transparency would be extremely useful. Otherwise is there a means to achieve a similar effect with existing functionality? Unfortunately I'm not familiar with programming shaders.

As usual, actually reaching the state of what is displayed in these scientific articles is much harder that one would expect... You have to compute specific scalar fields and then implement a 3 pass rendering pipeline :|

Unless they provide some code it would be quite hard to actually integrate that in CC... do they?
