myminifactory

This larger-than-life wooden sculpture brings an eagle to life. The iconic depiction of the bird is widespread in Switzerland, with numerous copies of a similar style found throughout the Lausanne area. This particular sculpture is situated near the Olympic Museum in d'Ouchy town. The dataset used for this project was acquired and processed by students enrolled in Prof. Mark Pauly's Digital 3D Geometry Course at EPFL's School of Computer and Communication Sciences, Switzerland.
