Scanner

I got some information about the skatepark workflow. The mesh was produced with point cloud meshing software and 3DC was used to work on the mesh.

I have been working with creating meshes from a Faro Scanner point cloud. I was impressed with what 3D Coat was able to do with this sample Faro Point Cloud of a skatepark: I searched to forum, but I don't see a workflow for this. What format should my pointcloud be to import both the xyz and rgb values to 3D Coat? The 3D Coat default imports obj/ lwo/ stl/ ply/ dae are not commonly used in the laser scanning world. What functions in 3D Coat mesh the point cloud and apply the color texture? With point cloud file formats being a table that show xyz position and next the RGB value, this might even be one step.
