Lucy is huge. (No, even bigger: 10 millions vertices, 20 millions
triangles); At least a 64 bits OS might be needed to handler it, unless
simplified. And you'd better have a lot of RAM.

Try with a smaller scan first.

IIRC, someone made an animation with soap-bubble ending as Lucy (and
show it in these groups, but I cannot find it back). And Rober McGregor
did one render in p.b.i of Lucy in the sky in 2010 (September)

Maybe he kept the mesh ?

Later Clipka also played with it.
