Well, AFAIK the models created by 3d-scanner are only used as a reference to
digitally sculpt a lower resolution mesh that will animate more smoothly or
then the scanned model is used to get a displacement map for a low res cage.
There are also lots of people who make realistic human models 'by hand'.
Steven Stahlberg and Peter Syomka are on the top 10 of my list. It's
actually not even too complicated when you have an app that you can work
with and you know anatomy sufficiently.
