Anqi, The default surface file generated by freesurfer is a proprietary format, but the freesurfer utility 'mris_convert' will convert to ascii and vtk formats (among others). Two examples:
mris_convert rh.pial rh.pial.asc creates an ascii file of triangle vertices and faces, and: mris_convert rh.pial rh.pial.vtk creates a vtk formated file. See: mris_convert --help and also: http://www.grahamwideman.com/gw/brain/fs/surfacefileformats.htm Coords are in subject space (not talairach space, but a mris_convert allows specify a transform file).
