I am an engineer, working with 3D modelling of industrial process plants. From time to time I (and others) need to visualize people within these models. The 3D volume models of people that I've come across so far are of rather poor quality and I am therefore considering creating my own. I therefore need some kind of input for the design process. Maybe scanned "slices" (two-dimensional cross-sectional views) of the entire body would be useful, provided that the distance between the slices aren't too big. Would it be possible to find such data, publically available? Any input on this subject in general are highly appreciated. -- Peter Blazejewicz (Do not include the berrypart when answering) .
