I'm trying to export 3D scans from Meshlab to Blender but when importing to Blender the scans lose their colour. I have tried to export as .ply file but still no colour. How do I fix this?
Recently, I found this , that allows you to generate a 3D model from a 2D image.   It works very well and you can download an OBJ file. Vertex are colored and when I import it using Blender, I can't see any Vertex color.   Using Cycle (I prefer a internal solution if it exists) according to some answers I've found on Blender Stack Exchange, I patched some nodes : Attribute -> Diffuse BDSF -> Material Output.  Unfortunately, I can't get it works, the model stills black.    When I open the OBJ file, I see that color per vertex are there :  v 43.747554 107.000000 69.000000 0.470588 0.380392 0.309804 v 43.780163 115.000000 64.500000 0.427451 0.337255 0.266667 v 43.782527 107.000000 68.500000 0.470588 0.380392 0.309804 v 43.801902 115.000000 65.000000 0.427451 0.337255 0.266667 v 43.806461 107.000000 69.500000 0.470588 0.380392 0.309804 v 43.821703 115.000000 64.000000 0.427451 0.337255 0.266667 v 43.838352 108.000000 68.500000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.854670 106.000000 69.000000 0.482353 0.392157 0.321569 v 43.856176 108.000000 69.000000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.873876 106.000000 69.500000 0.482353 0.392157 0.321569 v 43.888855 110.000000 68.000000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.891471 109.000000 68.000000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.892733 110.000000 67.500000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.895170 108.000000 68.000000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.900904 109.000000 68.500000 0.466667 0.376471 0.305882 v 43.907584 107.000000 68.000000 0.470588 0.380392 0.309804 v 43.917898 115.000000 65.500000 0.427451 0.337255 0.266667 v 43.925000 111.000000 67.500000 0.454902 0.364706 0.294118   According to some answers here, Blender import more easily the vertex color of a PLY file so I tried to convert to PLY with two different sites :   1. meshconvert .com : Give me a 3.5 Mo file  2. greentoken.de/onlineconv : Give me a 2.3 Mo file  (Of course, if you know some other sites I could try, it interest me)  I guess that color data are lost with greentoken (not sure).   When I import the 3.5 Mo PLY file in blender, I need to be in textured display mode, then I think I see my vertex color value but in black &amp; white instead of RGB, that is weird. Anyway, I can't get it work  EDIT 1 : I opened PLY files and color vertex aren't there... I need to find a better converter   EDIT 2 : I tried www.ofoct.com/3d-model-file-for-3d-printer-converter it doens't take vertex color into account. In fact, in each PLY files I converted with the various sites here, there is a common line :      comment Created by Open Asset Import Library -    (v3.2.0)   (the version varies)  EDIT 3 : In fact it seems that model converted by Green token, keep the vertex color. That is weird because that's the smallest file :   ply format ascii 1.0 comment Created by Open Asset Import Library - http://assimp.sf.net (v3.1.187496374) element vertex 29793 property float x property float y property float z property float nx property float ny property float nz element face 59582 property list uint uint vertex_index end_header 82 103 6.37528 0.40963 0.0331735 0.911648 82 102 6.57043 0.272087 0.235193 0.933088 82.6603 103 6.5 -0.14071 0.043367 0.9891 82 103.935 6.5 0.201161 -0.136681 0.969976 81.5475 103 7 0.825371 0.0489484 0.562465 83 102 6.62244 -0.248588 0.147929 0.957247 83 103 6.56417 -0.411487 -0.0867124 0.907281 81.5819 104 7 0.787841 -0.0338904 0.614946 82 105 6.63886 0.0715144 -0.131383 0.988749 83 104 6.77321 -0.431167 -0.171652 0.885794 83.6781 102 7 -0.470137 0.061235 0.880467 83.6327 103 7 -0.543939 -0.0905203 0.834228 83 105 6.96709 -0.445324 -0.163091 0.880391 84 103 7.23724 -0.520118 -0.141377 0.842313 84 104 7.47775 -0.546517 -0.195833 0.814229 84 102 7.16782 -0.416323 -0.021798 0.908955 83.3508 101 7 -0.314426 0.156435 0.936304 84 101 7.22581 -0.280388 0.0301462 0.959413 84.9009 101 7.5 -0.339848 -0.0219793 0.940223 84.6939 102 7.5 -0.435242 -0.0925323 0.895546   As you can see, nx, ny and nz correspond to RGB values..
By definition $\aleph_1 = 2 ^{\aleph_0}$. And since $2 &lt; \aleph_0$, then $2^{\aleph_0} = {\aleph_1} \le \aleph_0 ^ {\aleph_0}$. However, I do not know what exactly $\aleph_0 ^ {\aleph_0}$ is or how I could compute it. Ubuntu on 32-bit UEFI (only) based tablet pc I've created a bootable USB of Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit with Rufus, setting the drive to be a GPT for UEFI. Then I booted my tablet PC and I ran the UEFI BIOS, from which I turned secure boot off. I then restarted and went again on the BIOS to boot from my key, but all I got was a black screen that lasted few seconds and then it brought me back to the BIOS. I read about a bootia32.efi file and other procedures that can be followed, but I didn't find a good explanation of what I need to get done. My tablet PC runs an Intel Core Atom Z3735F and has 2 GB of RAM. If you have the answer please let me know. How does PK know better than Jaggu?

What are the recommended textbooks for introductory calculus? I am confused with the definition of non-parametric model after reading this link  and .   Originally I thought "parametric vs non-parametric" means if we have distribution assumptions on the model (similar to parametric or non-parametric hypothesis testing). But both of the resources claim "parametric vs non-parametric" can be determined by if number of parameters in the model is depending on number of rows in the data matrix.  For kernel density estimation (non-parametric) such a definition can be applied. But under this definition how can a neural network be a non-parametric model, as the number of parameters in the model is depending on the neural network structure and not on the number of rows in the data matrix?  What exactly is the difference between parametric and a non-parametric model? How to compare Unicode strings in Javascript? Why does $1+2+3+\cdots = -\frac{1}{12}$? Layers with same coordinate system should align/overlap in ArcMap but do not? I put 4 different layers into my ArcMap document, but only one of them will show up on the map! I should be seeing the other 3 layers as well. When I do a Zoom to layer, I can see one layer, but I cannot figure out how to make the other 3 show up at once on top of each other.  Before I opened ArcMap, I used ArcCatalog where I right-clicked 3/4 of the shapefiles and  clicked Properties &rarr; Coordinate system &rarr; Import and then clicked on my Trees layer, which has the coordinate system I want the other 3 to have. But when I opened ArcMap the 4 layers did not overlap, nor could I move them above or below each other. Many spells have "At higher levels" that provides for more targets or more damage.  For example Magic Missile can be cast as a second level spell and shoot 4 missiles instead of it's 3 as a first level spell.  Can a spell without that verbiage, such as Firestorm be cast in higher level slots for the same effect as the lower level spell? What do the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr sections store, exactly? How to interpret autocorrelation plot in MCMC I am getting familiar with Bayesian statistics by reading the book Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, by John K. Kruschke also known as the "puppy book". In chapter 9, hierarchical models are introduced with this simple example: \begin{align} y_{ji}   &amp;\sim {\rm Bernoulli}(\theta_j)  \\ \theta_j &amp;\sim {\rm Beta}(\mu\kappa, (1-\mu)\kappa)  \\ \mu      &amp;\sim {\rm Beta}(A_\mu, B_\mu)   \\ \kappa   &amp;\sim {\rm Gamma}(S_\kappa, R_\kappa) \end{align} and the Bernoulli observations are 3 coins, each 10 flips. One shows 9 heads, the other 5 heads and the other 1 head.  I have used pymc to infer the hyperparamteres.  with pm.Model() as model: # define the          mu = pm.Beta('mu', 2, 2)     kappa = pm.Gamma('kappa', 1, 0.1)     # define the prior     theta = pm.Beta('theta', mu * kappa, (1 - mu) * kappa, shape=len(N))     # define the likelihood     y = pm.Bernoulli('y', p=theta[coin], observed=y)      # Generate a MCMC chain     step = pm.Metropolis()     trace = pm.sample(5000, step, progressbar=True)     trace = pm.sample(5000, step, progressbar=True)   burnin = 2000  # posterior samples to discard thin = 10  # thinning  pm.autocorrplot(trace[burnin::thin], vars =[mu, kappa])   My question is regarding the autocorrelation. How shall I interpret autocorrelation? Could you please help me to interpret the autocorrelation plot?    It says as the samples gets further from each other the correlation between them reduces. right? Can we use this to plot to find the optimum thinning? Does the thinning affect the posterior samples? after all, what is the use of this plot? When to pronounce ‹s› as /z/ in the middle of words?

Close vote notice: While the linked duplicate asks same question, the comments and the only answer do not provide an answer which draws from authoritative source. The , does in fact provide the answer I've been seeking. Thus the proposed duplicate isn't helpful, however Thomas's answer here is proper.  According to the  and personal account , directories that have large amount of entries get to a size over 4096 bytes (which can be seen with ls -l output), but once the entries are removed - the number never goes down.   The question is "why" ? Is it due to how ext4 filesystem configured to retain directory metadata ?
