A script I wrote in Maya Python for point cloud animation. It's called Cache Cloud - a utility that creates Maya Particle Disk Cache (.pdc) files from a sequence of point cloud data; and also gives you the choice of importing a single point cloud. It could be useful with all the open source data being released from Kinect hacks or 3D scanners.
Get the Cache Cloud script and see a demo here: http://folio.heylight.com/#958712/Code
