Save Mesh (Poisson) as FBX with RGB colors

Post by MichaelfromBer »

Hello, I want to save a mesh from Poisson SR as FBX. The mesh has the RGB colors from the point cloud. Unfortunately the FBX is one grey structure. What am I doing wrong?
I have added a screenshot of the properties of the mesh:

I think the issue might more probably come from the other software tool with which you load the FBX file? Only a few can handle per-vertex RGB colors (they generally use textures).

Hi Daniel, thank you for your reply. Indeed it seems that Infraworks cannot handel per-vertex colors. I ran the PC through Recap and exported an FBX-File with separate texture file. This works but I would prefer having this possibility within CC as I very much appreciate this tool.
