. 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 by today's standards (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 originally available in .ply (polygons) file format with 4 different resolutions, 69,451 polygons being the highest.
