Hey there,

Not sure if anyone's already played with it, but I just saw that Radiohead released some neato 3d point cloud data from their latest music video, which they shot entirely using 3d scanners.

You can grab it here:

http://code.google.com/p/radiohead/downloads/list

The files are simple csv files, and I wrote a quick python sop to pull the data (though in retrospect, I guess I could've just read them as chanfiles... right?)

Just in case that doesn't work, here's my python code:

# This code is called when instances of this SOP cook.
geo = hou.pwd().geometry()
node = hou.pwd()

# Add code to modify the contents of geo.
file = open(node.parm('file').eval(),'r')
lines = file.readlines()
file.close()

for line in lines:
	P = line.strip().split(',')
	P = [float(x) for x in P]
	intensity = P.pop()
	point = geo.createPoint()
	point.setPosition((P[0],-P[1],P[2],intensity))
