Stanford Bunny

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

The Stanford Bunny is a computer graphics test model developed by Greg Turk and Marc Levoy in 1994 at Stanford University.

The Bunny consists of data describing 69,451 triangles determined by range scanning a ceramic bunny figurine. The data can be used to test various graphics algorithms; including polygonal simplification, compression, and surface smoothing. While the Stanford Bunny is a standard test data set, it does have limitations. These include its simplicity (only 69,451 triangles), that it is manifold connected, and that it has holes in the data (some due to scanning limits and some due to the object being hollow).

The model was/is originally available in .ply (polygons) file format with 4 different resolutions, 69,451 polygons being the highest.
