Nice one Kelvin Did you experiment with CGAL point clouds? I wonder if they are comparable to native point clouds in Houdini in terms of performance, particularly because CGAL also have incremental neighbor searching.
That's also why I always ask SESI at each beta to add a C++ Wrangle to Houdini out of the box, so we can do these kinds of things much easier. Maybe 18.5

Thanks. I didn't try the point cloud data structure in CGAL yet. I just cherry-picked several CGAL algorithms for a project I am working on.
Yup, a native C++ Wrangle SOP is nice and your node is awesome too. However, the users still need to setup a proper dev environment for compiling (at least at Windows) which might be confusing for some users.

I agree it's definitely a hurdle if you don't have Visual Studio installed on Windows which I always have. So that makes it much easier for me to set it up.
Not sure if SESI can ship with the necessary compilers for Windows

That's a very good idea actually. Would make the whole thing a lot easier, and allow artists to expand their capabilities inside Houdini to new levels.
