Or you could purchase a program called Poser 4.0 and get the High Resolution
body's from DAZ 3D. They have high res female/make and skeleton files.

Hello Jim,

If you are looking to purchase ready-made files I would contact Visible
Productions in Ft. Collins, CO. They do great work and have compiled
their database of human anatomy from the visible human project and other
studies. They can also give you the file in many different formats to
suit your needs. I believe that they are also the ones providing some
of the anatomical data you can purchase from Viewpoint Datalabs
(http://www.viewpoint.com/medical/). Contact them at www.visiblep.com.
These guys are definitely experts and have spent much time making the
models "prettier" than what you'd be able to pull out of the visible
human yourself.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Andy

Richard,
Thanks for your suggestion. We've actually connected with Hugo. I think
Visual Human Project and Hugo are one and the same. The sight and the
data is cumbersome and somewhat inadequate. Not to say we lack a lot of
experience in pulling out specific body parts. We're still novices and
I'm searching for alternatives.

Many thanks,
Jim Williams

Dear Jim and list,

If you do a web search I guess you may find people who have 3D files of
various body parts, usually bones and joints but other stuff too. The
alternative is to get access to the Visual Human Project. It contains CT
and MRI data of two whole people. There are conditions that apply and
you have to register to get access but once you do you can theoretically
create any bits you want.

regards,
Richard
