Stanford dragon

Computer-generated render of the Stanford dragon

The Stanford dragon is a computer graphics 3D test model created with a Cyberware 3030 Model Shop (MS) Color 3D scanner at Stanford University. Data for the model was produced in 1996.

The dragon consists of data describing 871,414 triangles[note 1][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,[2] similar to the Stanford bunny (1993).

The model is available in different file formats (ply, vrml, vl, etc.) on the internet for free.

Notes

  1. ^ Although the Stanford web page says that it has 1,132,830 triangles, the actual face count is 871,414 in the .ply file.
