In the latest version of Blender (2.8), I can't find the option "vertex color paint" in cycles mode to render the PLY mesh with color.
I can show the PLY mesh color with "Vertex Paint" mode but when I press F12
to render, the output is still a grayscale image.
I have been googling a lot but still can't find a proper solution for Blender 2.8.
Below are some links I found:
- Ply color can't be rendered in blender
- Import PLY doesn't display vertex colors
- How to display and use Vertex Color from OBJ model
Here is the PLY mesh file I tried: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e9hvbu0iq0tpafn/obj_000006.ply?dl=0
