Stanford Dragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stanford Dragon is a computer graphics test model created with a Cyberware 3030 MS at Stanford University.

The Dragon consists of data describing 1,132,830 triangles determined by 3D scanning a real figurine. The data can be used to test various graphics algorithms; including polygonal simplification, compression, and surface smoothing.

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