I think i'll try and model something for this ir-scanner.

Is there a guideline for facecound (tris/quads) ?

Will post here when i got something.

OK, my first model (ir_device_04.zip) has about 623 Faces
(mostly quads) .. i figure that that might be to much, but
i'm not sure.

If i could attach it here (did open this FR anonymously) you
could have a look at it and tell me if that was what you had
in mind. It has the basic shape of some binocs, but the big
box will contain the thermographic devices ;)

PS: Are you goint ot use a heat-scanner or an infrared night
vision ... i think you meant the first one, because the
second one is normally used to enhance the environment-light
in the night (image intensifier).
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermography (heat capturing)
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_vision_goggles (image
intensifier)
for reference and the realistic colors of these 'view-modes'.

The current version (ir_device_07) has ~350 _triangles_ and
i'm, just waiting to get the md2-export to work with blender
again [1] so i can test it ingame.
