Forgive the questions, but:  What sort of laser, how long does a typical 
scan take, and what's the maximum resolution?

I don't suppose each scan has an absolute position reference?  You must know 
something about their positions relative to each other, obviously, or you 
wouldn't have been able to generate the fly-through like you did.

Warp has dealt with meshes quite a bit, perhaps he's got some ideas for 
joining them together...
