Testing possible ways to include design models within point-cloud models. Originally tried exporting Obj with both mesh and point-cloud data, however it seems that SketchFab doesn’t parse files this way. Applied a work-around turning mesh data into point-clouds using Rhino/Grasshopper (populating geometry with random points and then create a coloured point-cloud class from these points).
Overall the result seems to work although it lacks the two-toned materiality (point-cloud visuals with solid mesh) that I was initially after. The ghosting effect is subtle. Could improve through developing better mesh-to-pointcloud workflow within Rhino/GH. This is only really an issue with sharing within SketchFab (I think).
Model is of a potential bridge design based off of the Central Park Bridge point-cloud.
