Blender LiDAR Importer

This is a Blender LiDAR Importer I built for importing LASer (LAS) point cloud data sets. This addon currently ONLY supports the LAS file format.

Update:

I have changed this plugin to use laspy instead of liblas, and it should be much easier to install now.

Known Issues:

The points are not centered after importing, so you will need to scale the object after importing before the verticies are visible in Blender's viewport.

Install Instructions:

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/nittanygeek/LiDAR-Importer.git

In Blender, Navigate to Edit > Preferences, and click on Add-ons tab. Click "Install" at the top, and Select the _init_.py file from cloned repository. Activate the Addon

Usage:

File > Import > LiDAR Format (.las) > Select your LAS file and click "Import LiDAR File" Note: Large LAS files will take a long time to import. Be patient.
