interesting site with a sample of a scanned person. few different formats. the .iges appears not to be any good. might be of interest to some of you.

the .ply format shows up alot for this scanned stuff... medical data scans (like mousey brains - oh joy), engineering analysis, etc. not seeing any good tools supporting the format. can anyone shed some like on reliabel, free convertors? save me the time of writing one. thanks in advance.
