The Stanford Dragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stanford dragon is a computer graphics 3D 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 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.

The Stanford 3D Scanning Repository provides the Stanford dragon model for download
