The Power Plant Model is a complete model of an actual coal fired power plant. It has been released for non-commercial use only. The model consists of 12,748,510 triangles in 1,185 files in PLY format, and is available in one large download or in smaller sections for those not needing the entire model. The Walkthru Group has used the model extensively for its research in collision detection, interactive rendering, simplification, texture and image-based techniques, virtual environments, visibility culling, and other research areas.
