    About the data file:
      This originally was a Cyberware laser digitizer scan
      of Fran J.'s face. Surface normals are generated based on local geometry
      (i.e., the polygon normals surrounding each point are averaged). We flip
      the normals because we want them to point out from Fran's face.
