Thesis:

The point cloud renderer is subject of my master thesis. For more information, see the university’s publication page:

Or directly read the thesis here: Thesis

Download:

Might be coming to the Unreal Marketplace. Alternatively, send me an E-Mail to receive an alpha version for a lowered price. The mere rendering plugin (without loading point cloud files, accessing the Kinect, etc.) can be downloaded here: https://github.com/ValentinKraft/UE4_GPUPointCloudRenderer
