Point Clouds and Postprocessing - Three.js - page 259

If you've already looked at the Creating a point cloud based on a geometry recipe,
you'll notice that most of the steps are the same. The only difference between these
two recipes is how you create the geometry.
How it works...
For an explanation on how this works, look at the How it works… section from the
Creating a point cloud based on a geometry recipe.
There's more…
In Chapter 2 , Geometries and Meshes , we showed how you could render 3D formu-
las with Three.js. With the setup from this recipe, you can also create 3D formulas
that are visualized as point clouds. For instance, the following screenshot shows you
a 3D formula from Chapter 2 , Geometries and Meshes , rendered as a point cloud:
As you can see, you can very easily create great-looking point clouds this way.

There are a couple of recipes in this chapter that are related to this recipe:
• In the Creating a point cloud based on a geometry recipe, we use an existing
geometry to create a point cloud
• In the Styling individual points recipe, we show you how you can style the in-
dividual points of a point cloud
