Dear all,
Supposed that I have a 3D-scanned face model in STL (binary and ascii)
format, how can I load it into openGl and 'snapshot' it then save it as
jpeg, bmp, etc?
Thanks in advance.

OpenGL has no functions for loading or storing data,
you cannot "load anything into OpenGL".

Try google for "stl file library" or something
similar.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know
that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,'
and then they actually change their minds and you never
hear that old view from them again.  They really do it.
It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists
are human and change is sometimes painful.  But it happens
every day.  I cannot recall the last time something like
that happened in politics or religion.
