The sculptures are nice and it is an interesting technology. This seems like
a good use for the tools in Imageware and the other reverse engineering
software that will turn a surface into a point cloud. You could take a
surface you modeled else where and sample it. Also you could fit a surface
to an unorganized point cloud and then sample that surface in an organized
manner to make a better looking sculpture.
Can the software for the scanner that created the data manipulate the clouds
to align them?
