Yes, there are a set of 3D tools in IMP.

Joining this list is a good start. You might go to
http://www.morphometrics.org/library.html and look at some of the
articles under the heading "What is Morphometrics."
Available programs for handling 3D data of which I am aware include:
morpheus (old version) - Slice. ordinary and generalized Procrustes
superimpositions with lots of graphics and import/export options.
Remaining version is Windows.
morphologika - O'Higgins et al. superimpositions plus PCAs of various
types. Windows.
morphoj - Klingenberg. A number of follow up analyses. Java, so
cross-platform.
edgewarp - Bookstein and Green. Very sophisticated handling of 3D points
and data structures. Steep learning curve. Linux, but I think somewhat
cross-platform.
Not sure about Sheet's IMP package, but I recall discussion about 3D
analyses.
m_vis - Slice. 3D morphometric data visualization. Graphics component
for new morpheus. Java = Linux, Windows, Mac.
morpheus (new version) - Slice. Undocumented, alpha version released
because it has a number of very useful features for checking and
correcting data sets when used in conjunction with m_vis (the two are
not yet integrated). Java.
Any more?
Best, ds

Hi!
I'm working on the morphology of fishes using the Landmark program to
visualize my 3D specimens and place landmark points on them.
I now wanted to quantify the differences between the species using the
landmak points I exported, but I don't know what kind of program I
should use.
I exported my points as .pts files (raw landmark points) and .dta files
(NTSys landmark points)
I wanted to represent my 3D specimens with my points, in a sort of
squared cube. The points would be positionned in relation to their x, y,
z coordinates.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks
