Anyone, any idea which software will better handle a point cloud to ---> triangular mesh generation with an option to export it into the *obj format? Thanks
Free, you have Meshlab that does a great job. Else, you can look onto RealityCapture if you want to have the full reconstruction workflow from images/laserscans.
Just for meshing though, PointFuse and VRMesh both do a decent job. Also, both Rhino and 3D Reshaper (now Cyclone something) are interesting to look for. But not free :)
Alexey Portnov I also created a condensed tutorial to develop your own python script for meshing point clouds, available here : https://towardsdatascience.com/5-step-guide-to-generate-3d-meshes-from-point-clouds-with-python-36bad397d8ba
