3D Mesh from cloud of points

I thought why not give it a try:

I didn’t think three.js already included that. But I also lack the overview to recognize it immediately. So I would have done a lot of work for nothing if I had tried to implement the algorithm.

Once again an efficient solution! :+1: :+1: :+1:

I played around a little.
With THREE.LineSegments you see the sphere very beautiful.

// ****************** + *********************
const lsGeo = new THREE.BufferGeometry( );
const lsPos = new Float32Array( 200 * 3 );
lsGeo.setAttribute( 'position', new THREE.BufferAttribute( lsPos, 3 ) );
for ( i = 0; i < pts.length; i ++ ) {		 
	lsPos[ i * 6     ] = pts[ i ].x;
	lsPos[ i * 6 + 1 ] = pts[ i ].y;
	lsPos[ i * 6 + 2 ] = pts[ i ].z;	
	lsPos[ i * 6 + 3 ] = unitPts[ i ].x;
	lsPos[ i * 6 + 4 ] = unitPts[ i ].y;
	lsPos[ i * 6 + 5 ] = unitPts[ i ].z;	
}
const  lsMaterial = new THREE.LineBasicMaterial({ color: "white"});
const  ls = new THREE.LineSegments( lsGeo, lsMaterial );
scene.add( ls );

One would still have to display the colors according to the distance from the origin.
