so is there anyone who has 3d scan data from bodies?
i've got no problem with some cfd analysis time (it's my job) I just don't have the capabilities to do the 3d scan bit.
I know a couple ppl that do, would have to call in a favor
that would be interesting but i also just found this:
http://www.david-laserscanner.com
it's freeware(up to certain level that might be enough), so I might have to find out if it works and see if it is accurate enough for our purpose.
