## What it is
A collection of Python addons for Blender, most notably the Point Cloud Visualizer for displaying, editing, filtering, and rendering colored PLY point cloud files. The free repository addons are unmaintained; the successor Point Cloud Visualizer 2.0+ is sold commercially and actively maintained.

## Use cases
- visualize colored point clouds in blender
- load and render ply point cloud files
- photogrammetry point cloud editing in blender
- import agisoft photoscan cameras into blender
- unwrap tube uv maps in blender
- track time spent working in blender
- export point clouds from blender

## When to choose
- you need to display or edit PLY point clouds inside Blender
- you work with photogrammetry output in Blender
- you want free legacy addons for Blender 2.80-2.83

## When to avoid
- you need support for the latest Blender versions from the free addons
- you want maintained software without buying the commercial Point Cloud Visualizer 2.0+
- you need a general-purpose point cloud tool outside Blender

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, image-processing, file-system, data-visualization
- domain: graphics, computer-vision, photography, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: blender-addon, point-cloud, ply-files, photogrammetry, uv-mapping, wavefront-obj, 3d-graphics, desktop
