Hey, she didn't say "generic format", she said "generic objects", like
desks, chairs, tires, cars, I presumed. You're right, though, there's lots
of great 3D data out there, all we need is the right to use it.
Unfortunately, most people have realized that making good – even "generic"
– 3D objects takes lots of time and effort. Even the most gracious,
supposedly public-serving universities don't hand out this sort of data.
Leaving the conversion of formats to useful utilities like InterChange. Do
you know anyone with one of those 3-space laser digitizers? You can whip
up lots of data, fast.
