I'm trying to generate point cloud data from mesh such as (.obj) file of Maya. But, I could find out only the opposite case, point cloud to mesh on the internet. Is there any way to create "point cloud data from mesh" using 3D tools like MeshLab or Maya? (I prefer using MeshLab)
Thanks. :)

Use point clouds as reference data for modellingA 3D point cloud is converted into a 3D mesh in a modeling software, and the resulting model can be used in CAD (Computer Aided Design) or BIM (Building Information Modeling) software.
Point clouds are most commonly generated using 3D laser scanners and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology and techniques. Here, each point represents a single laser scan measurement. These scans are then stitched together, creating a complete capture of a scene, using a process called 'registration'.
The free and open-source project CloudCompare can load OBJ meshes and then generate point clouds on the mesh, which you can then save in a variety of formats.
