CloudCompare is a Free software. Free as in "Free speech", not as in "free beer". Developing and maintaining a software is never free (no magic in this world).
If CloudCompare helps you make (or save) a lot of money, then pleasecontributeordonate. if you really can't, at least send us an email to say thanks ;-) we are also in need of equipment (scanners, computers, graphic cards, hard drives, etc.) and of nice and big datasets to test CloudCompare!
Snaps are published in 3 channels: "stable", "beta", and "edge". You can switch at any time between these 3 channels by launching "sudo snap refresh --<channel name>" in your terminal.

[New]Python wrappers for CloudCompare
Thanks to our great contributors, CloudCompare offers now several options to be used with Python in a more integrated way (more than the command line ;)
Mind that these 2 projects are still work in progress. Constructive feedback is welcome:please declare bugs or ask questions on their respective github pages.
This project allows one to load clouds and access their internal data as numpy arrays, call some of CloudCompare's algorithms, apply your own processes, and save the result.
This plugin allows to write Python scripts in CloudCompare, by providing python bindings to the set of CloudCompare’s libraries (that you can use in C++ plugins) as well as embedding a python interpreter to run scripts. This plugin can be used to run Python scripts via the GUI or via the command line. You'll find the extensive documentationherewith all the bulding instructions andexamples

we now use7zipand its 7z format (instead of the more standard zip format) as it is much more efficient
simply decompress the files in their default directory and launch the program withCloudCompare.exeorccViewer.exe
try not to decompress files onto a previous version (delete/uninstall it first)
you may have to manually install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package2017
the qFaro I/O plugin is not available in the archive version (you have to use the installer)
Peter Kovesi provides various perceptually efficient colour ramps:https://peterkovesi.com/projects/colourmaps. You can download them (there's a link in the table under the "Download" section) and load them in CloudCompare once (via theColor Scale Manager- see the "Export / Import" section). CloudCompare will then remember them.
