Abstract
We present the results of a large-scale simulation of dynamically tria ngulated random surfaces with extrinsic curvature embedded in three-di mensional flat space. We measure a variety of local observables and us e a finite-size scaling analysis to characterize as much as possible t he regime of crossover from crumpled to smooth surfaces.
