Sam, I agree with John. Call Viewpoint! Nobody else sells meshes like they do. Since my company does a little bit of custom digitizing, I'll add a few remarks about the mesh you uploaded. A.) Since it seems that you've defined a specific resolution for the mesh you're most likely going to have to target a general marketplace. We've done a few scans for various members of the medical profession and from looking at the C2 you uploaded you're mesh is too detailed for alot of clients and "way" too simplified for alot of others. B.) The mesh appears to have been done with a stylus digitizer instead of laser scanning, because your triangulated mesh looks like it is derived from "pick points" not a split beam read. If you did use a laser scanner and have the original data, it looks like you're throwing away alot of relevant data. You may want to generate a number of seperate skeletons by decimating the original data to various levels. Make sure you offer the original scan data in one of your offerings because a fairly large protion of the medical profession enjoys the ability to be able to use true scan data. C.) 5 people, 2 years? Do you have all of the muscles and organs in addition to the skeletal structure? Give us more detail about the rest of it. D.) How ever you decide to market it, keep in mind that there are a number of digitized skeletons in the medical profession already. They range from resolutions far above the C2 you uploaded to lower res ones like the Viewpoint skeletons. Paul
