Yosemite's Half Dome Detail

thingiverse

Rendered from a ridiculously detailed Lidar dataset available at http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/. I had to severely decimate the data to even get it onto my software. This is the highest resolution mesh I could make with all of Half Dome in it. The resolution may be overkill for current printers, but you can always dump some if you need to. You can watch my tutorial video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4-ICkvyJv0 Be sure to check out the ridge where the cableway climbs up. It clearly shows just how steep it is. I also posted a version which crops at the base of the NW face so you can save time and materials if you like.
