Meshing a point cloud without cuda

derek56 · 2024-12-19 17:08:17

I'm having trouble finding a package that will help me mesh a point cloud from colmap. I'd like to be able to scan my objects and use a 3d environment to catalogue and organise my physical workspace. All the software for meshing seems to require cuda though. I'd prefer to work with open source drivers and packages, and currently the budget doesn't allow for upgrading hardware.

colmap appears to focus heavily on using cuda, have you considered an alternative like meshroom ?

I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.

Colmap will install with cpu drivers if no video card is detected, I used yay to install it.

Got an old surface book 2 running meshroom now, It feels kind of gross relying on proprietary cuda drivers, but got to work with what I got. Thanks for the help, it should meet my needs.
