Steps to Generate Point Cloud to 3DS via Java

Java programmers can easily generate point cloud to 3DS in just a few lines of code.

  • Load 3DS file via the constructor of Scene class
  • Get pointcloud object of Aspose.3D
  • Create a transform object through the EvaluateGlobalTransform method
  • Generate point cloud using Merge method
  • Call the Scene.Save method with object

System Requirements

Aspose.3D for JAVA is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

  • Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.
  • Get latest version of Aspose.3D for Java directly from Maven.
 

JAVA code to Generate Point Cloud to 3DS


//The source file that needs to generate the point cloud and the output file after saving
String file = "template.3ds";
String output = "outFile.ply";

//create an instance of Scene
Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.open(file, FileFormat.DISCREET3DS);

//Get pointcloud object of Aspose.3D and generate a point cloud
PointCloud pc=new PointCloud();
scene.getRootNode().accept((Node n) ->
{
    if(n.getEntities().size()>0)
    {
        Matrix4 transform=n.evaluateGlobalTransform(true);
        for(Entity entity : n.getEntities())
        {
            if(entity instanceof Geometry){
                Geometry g= (Geometry) entity;
                Merge(pc, g, transform);
            }
            else if(entity instanceof IMeshConvertible){
                IMeshConvertible mc = (IMeshConvertible) entity;
                Mesh mesh=mc.toMesh();
                Merge(pc, mesh, transform);
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
});

// create an instance of newScene
Scene newScene= new Scene(pc);
PlySaveOptions ply = new PlySaveOptions();
ply.setPointCloud(true);
newScene.save(output, ply);

//Merge method for generating point clouds
private void Merge(PointCloud pc, Geometry g, Matrix4 transform)
{
    PointCloud tmp = PointCloud.fromGeometry(g, 10);
    for (int i = 0; i < tmp.getControlPoints().size(); i++)
    {
        Vector4 pt=Matrix4.mul(transform, tmp.getControlPoints().get(i));
        pc.getControlPoints().add(pt);
    }
}

    Java 3D Scene Manipulation Library

    Aspose.3D is a CAD and Gameware API to load, modify and convert 3D files. API is a standalone and does not require any any 3D modeling or rendering software. One can easily use API for Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, FBX (ASCII, Binary), Collada, glTF, PLY, GLB, DirectX and more formats.

    3DS What is 3DS File Format?

    A file with 3DS extension represents 3D Studio (DOS) mesh file format used by Autodesk 3D Studio. Autodesk 3D Studio has been in 3D file format market since 1990s and has now evolved to 3D Studio MAX for working with 3D modeling, animation and rendering. A 3DS file contains data for 3D representation of scenes and images and is one of the popular file formats for 3D data import and export. It considers information like camera locations, Mesh data, lighting information, viewport configurations, smoothing group data, bitmap references and attributes to create vertices and polygons for rendering a scene.
