Real rock scanned (Rock047). We are using these models to test our Rocksolver software which solves the jigsaw puzzle of building with irregular-shaped blocks of unprocessed rock (follow links for more information). Mesh reduced to 252 vertices (500 triangular faces) using MeshLab. The model is derived from a natural rock so its shape will have a natural look when scaled to any size. The original rock is a wedge-shaped piece of basalt from Bombo quarry south of Sydney and is about 100mm long. The model is textured with a photo of the surface of a piece of quarried basalt. To find other models with basalt texture search for 'BasTex' or to find models with the same texture search for 'SydBas15'. See website link below (or visit my blog: malbertsinvention.wordpress.com) for more information about Rocksolver.
