Hmm I see it's in gz format. Is that a linux format or what is it?

Do you think you could maybe e-mail me the brain in povray format?

This is a great idea for a first image.  The brain could probably use a 
more shiny texture, and the work bench should be a bit scuffed, burned 
and generally battered a bit but it's comming along nicely.

*.gz is typical GNU ZIP. Either WinZip is able to read it, or you'll find
GZip easily in the net.regards

But this time it is not necessary. I was confused at first,
because I couldn't open the file with any decompression utility,
until I loaded it into a text editor. And voila, it is already an
ascii text file ... strange thing

After that, it takes a few moments to guess what the numbers mean
(never worked with triangle meshes before) and 10 minutes to
write a conversion tool...

1st.  Wow.
2nd.  For long planks of wood (like shelves), typically the grain runs along the
length of the board.
3rd.  Wow.
