Seehasen

There are some interesting and long history art models in the center of city of konstanz: Seehasen (Lake-Rabbits in English). According to the book "Der Kaiser Brunnen auf der Marktstätte im Stadt Konstanz", these Seehasen have their own name: die Seehasen-Urmutter, die Seehasen-Tochter, das Seehasen-Männchen und das Seehasen-Weibchen. Prof. Saupe borrowed these models from Dr. Waltraut Liebl-Kopitzki from "Amt für Schulen, Bildung und Wissenschaft, Stadt Konstanz". Then we got chance to acquire 3D shape for these historic art models. During the scanning processing, we tried to scan these models without influencing original metal reflection on surfaces of these models.

The website of this project "High-quality Seehasen Model Acquisition and Texture mapping" is here. The 3D models are available for download.
