WSU 3D Object Model Database: MSU-Ideas models

The twenty object models in this directory were created in 1988-1990 using the SDRC Ideas solid modeler. Over the years, they have been redesigned a few times, most recently with the IRIT solid modeler developed by Gerson Elber (available here).

Each object is described in four files:
bullet name.irt, the IRIT description of the object, including a directive to save the object in a polyhedral approximation.
bullet name.poly, a polygonal description of the object in Flynn's .poly format.
bullet name.wrl, a VRML version of the polygonal approximation to the object.
bullet name.neutral, a (readable) description of the surfaces comprising the model.
bullet name.igs, an IGES 3.0 description of the object.
If you want to retrieve all of the model data at once, go to the bottom of this page and get `the whole enchilada.'

Here is a description of the .poly file format.
