Stanford Dragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A reproduction of the dragon made with a rapid prototyping machine
The Stanford Dragon is a computer graphics test model created with a Cyberware 3030 Model Shop (MS) Color 3D Scanner at Stanford University.
The Dragon consists of data describing 871,414 triangles[note 1] determined by 3D scanning a real figurine. The data set is often used to test various graphics algorithms; including polygonal simplification, compression, and surface smoothing. It first appeared in 1996.
The model is available in different file formats (.ply, vrml, vl, ...) on the web for free.
