Love the Stawamus Chief? Now You Can Own It.

This miniature version of the Stawamus Chief may make it a bit easier to take a classic Squamish selfie.

Vancouver-based Corbel 3D and Sea to Sky Air has made history recently by becoming the first to capture the Stawamus Chief as a 3D image and turn it into a printable rendering using a process called photogrammetry, the concept of taking measurements from photographs. 

Here’s what the 3D rendering looks like:

The full colour three-dimensional model was made from over 650 aerial images shot from above which were scanned and sent to a 3D Printer. You can check out the replica in person at the Squamish Adventure Centre or head over to Mini Me and buy one for yourself until November 30. 2014.
