I’d heard before about Radiohead’s House of Cards video, made entirely from 3D laser scan data. Yesterday I found out that some of the point cloud data files were made available to download from Google under a creative commons license.
So I did a little test reading it into Blender with a quickie Python script, and rendered it as a volume, using the ‘point density’ texture, in the sim_physics branch. You can
download the .blend file including the script.
The blend doesn’t seem to exist.
doh! sorry about that, its fixed now
Thanks man. I’ll check it out.
Hi Matt,
that looks very interesting :D
was it supposed to be abit jittery?
Looks cool anyway!

How was the volumetric face created! That’s amazing!
Is there a way to overcome the jitter or is it from the point cloud data files?
RH2: Yeah, it’s all from a laser scan, you can see how they did it on that google/radiohead page. And yes, the jitter is from the original files.
Hi Matt! Could you post the link to the branch you are using?
Thank you very much!
Francisco: Hi, you can find builds of it (sim_physics) on http://www.graphicall.org
cheers
