caldera

This is a command line point cloud renderer in OpenGL. Load a .ply file and view it.

Build

Requires/uses CMake, and vcpkg

cmake -B build -S . -G Ninja \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
cmake --build build

Or you can just run ./run.sh, which does the same and launches with a sample path (edit the path inside first).

Usage

./caldera.exe path/to/cloud.ply

Only .ply files are supported (ASCII or binary)
