Juan,
Sure, you can easily generate basic shapes and save them into PCD files. However the pcl_visualization methods create 3D
shapes and not 3D point clouds that represent 3D shapes, meaning that a cube will have 8 points representing the
corners, and not thousands of points on its facets, etc.
We do have some methods that either:
* virtually scan a 3D shape (see the virtual_scanner package)
* fill in the data evenly on a shape (by iterating over each polygon/triangle and placing points evenly spaced)
Cheers,
Radu.
