Hey all you 3D wizards. I am trying to put together points received from a lidar onto the screen to create a giant picture.
Kind of like a bump map except with points.
I slammed together a quick SolidParticle example that creates spheres (50,000) at a fixed location and on the fly. Just to test.
Performance AWFUL.
Tried the same thing with planes. Performance much.
Since I am going to be collecting this information while moving I was wondering if there is a better way. I might collect as many as 200,000 points.
its 16 measured location * X per second (X yet to be determined) collected driving an area of about a block.
Here is my sample and commented out is the createsphere.
