[sci.med] Digitized Human Bodies

milo@ndmath.UUCP (03/30/87)

I am looking for digitized 3 dimensional representations of the human body for
use in an experiment in computer animation.  I am primary looking for
outer-surface digitizations, I don't need data on internal organs,
skeletons...etc.

I am not too particular about how the data is formatted, contour lines, patches
spline or poligonal representations would do equally well.  I would prefer 
data that would represent a relatively "realistic" body rather than something
that looks like a humanoid robot.

I can probably use just about any data, regardless of detail, although given the
choice I would prefer detailed information at least in areas where it is needed
like the face and hands.

To complete the project I really need a digitization of an entire body from head
to toe.  If you have detailed data available on a head/face or upper-torso 
(including arms and hands) it would be marginally useful.

If you have this kind of data please contact me by USENET or other mail...please
don't send the actuall data without contacting me first.  At the current time
this project is just an experiment not intended to produce any income.
