Thanks for all the nuggets :)
@Ben Sure - have a client who is basically looking for a way to turn scans into 3D geo - so just looking to establish a method of doing as such thing using Soft ideally - The Modo thread's cool - Some nice Lightwave stuff in there and other useful links. The idea is to be able to break down the layers/levels of scanned data from the very outside of the human body to the inside so having data of skin, muscles, ligature, veins and bones - it has to be reasonably accurate and is specimen specific too. The Volumedic/GPU [Lightwave] stuff looks great - that might be an avenue I guess - though I 'd really prefer Softimage solution :/ Cheers, D.

Yeah, haven't touched that plugin in years. There are a bunch of applications which can do what you want though. We just had a discussion about some of them over at the Modo forum: http://forums.luxology.com/topic.aspx?f=4 <http://forums.luxology.com/topic.aspx?f=4&t=75517> &t=75517 Any more details about what you want to accomplish?
