I would love some input from the people that do this for a living full or part time. I have uploaded a mesh c2vert which is an anatomically correct mesh file, you can expect that the remainder of the skeleton will be just as accurate. My question is what is a fair and reasonable price for mesh files of this type. (NO I am not trying to commit suicide, I just know what it was like for me to search for these and how I felt about pricing.) I would like to be able to make this available to those who need it and not feel as though it is unaffordable. So, since you are the ones producing developing and making a living with this how would you go about pricing? In terms of what it cost to produce it, lets say it has taken about 2 years worth of work, a high end laser scanner, proprietary software, and about 5 people. I am also aware of what other companies are charging for meshes and it is not a secret, so I dont feel as though I am violating anyones rights. If you think this message is offensive and not appropriate than we can always have the sysop stop the thread. Thanks and I look forward to the feedback. Samuel Coor
