Description

I see the documentation doesn't touch upon this.

I had a look at https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud/blob/master/examples/%5Bvisualization%5D%20PyntCloud.ipynb

Which mentions some nonexistent `examples/[io]` and `examples/[sampling]` notebooks.

Unfortunately, the method `get_sample` doesn't mention anything about partial views either.

Is there some way to obtain a partial view of a mesh as a point cloud? I want to obtain a more realistic point cloud, that only contains points from the parts of the object that are visible from a certain camera (i.e. RGB-D sensor) angle.

Otherwise, it would be nice if there was.

Research direction

Start with the linked [visualization] PyntCloud.ipynb notebook and the get_sample method documentation, checking the referenced but nonexistent [io] and [sampling] notebooks. Determine the intended scope for camera-visible sampling from a mesh, then establish how support and documentation would be validated; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
