Stanford Bunny

The Stanford Bunny ( in German: Stanford Bunny ) is one of the most widely used test models of 3D computer graphics. It was developed in 1994 by Greg Turk and Marc Levoy at Stanford University.

The 3D surface model consists of 69 451 triangles, which were determined by a 3D scanner from a porcelain figurine. The model can be used for various graph algorithms such as polygon simplification, compression, and surface smoothing. Although he is established as a standard test object, the Stanford Bunny has some limitations. These include its simplicity by today's standards (only 69 451 triangles) that it is connected and there are varied due to limited scan option missing information in the data.

The model was originally. Ply file format (" ply" for polygon ) with four different resolutions available (up to 69 451 polygons).

In addition to the polygon model, the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository also offers CT ( computed tomography ) scans of the rabbits.
