MeshLab fails with an error message saying that the application has
requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
PoseRay might do it. But slowly, slowly!
After about 10 minutes loading the PLY file the % completed bar is at
about 2%.

I gave up after 21 hours and about 20% ~ 25% done

I'll try again next time I'm in front of it... failing that, I might still have
the converted .inc file, if it's still useful?

Yes, Bill, that would be fine indeed.

It's about 60mb. One mesh2, #declared as 'lucy'. Enjoy!

I thought I'd give this a go - I grabbed the PLY file of Lucy and wrote a few
lines of Smalltalk to convert into a mesh2 file - took about 30 minutes. Flat
polygons, but, as Bill said, they're probably going to be sub-pixel anyway.
But. But... The resulting file (with 5 decimal places of accuracy) is 1.2GB in
size, and when I tried to render it on my 4GB MacBook Pro, POV took about 3.8GB
of Virtual Memory, which nowhere near fitted into the 2.3GB of free RAM I had
after the OS and file buffers took their slices. I left it trying to parse the
file for about 50 minutes then just gave up.
I might give it a go on an AWS EC2 cloud instance - it's US$0.68 per hour for a
8 CPU/7G RAM/64 Bit machine. But I've still got to get a 1.2GB file onto it!
I'm *not* going to give anyone the file, but you welcome to take the code and
run it yourself in Pharo 1.2 (a Smalltalk development environment). You *will*
need a 6GB, 8GB or greater machine to use the mesh2 though!
Cheers,
Edouard.
