Description
Randomly samples points on a mesh.
Edit > Mesh > Sample points dialog
The user can either specify the total (approximate) number of points to be sampled, or the surface density (number of points per square units). This method is able to export the normals and color information from the original mesh (by interpolating those pieces of information inside each triangle). Therefore the user can choose whether to actually export each feature (if available).
