Make Points Visible
Hello,
I have a model made with Agisoft Metashape, exported as Points in .obj. When imported to Cinema 4D I can only see it in Point Mode and when I render the model it shows only a black screen.
Is there a way to give this points some volume so they are visible and able to be rendered?
Thankful for any help.

Hi Rodrigo,
If you do not have a way to export the file as polygon or solid form, you must connect the points in cinema 4d using the “polygon pen” tool, as in the screenshots below.
I hope this helps you
Thanks

But, if you just want the points rendered, you could use a cloner and clone geo onto each point. Or in octane use scatter, Redshift has a similar tool i think.

I think I have found a good way to make the points visible in rendering using hair. Just make sure in the hair properties that you set the Root to Vertex and use an appropriate material in terms of color and brightness to make the points more visible. You can also control the size of the points through the thickness channel in the material editor, as in the file and screenshots attached.
I hope this is useful to you.
