The digitization of the Griffin aimed at producing a very high-resolution and accurate sampling of its shape and of its surface decoration and colour, thus touching the spheres of both the 2D and 3D representation. The Griffin is a remarkable object that imposed a number of constraints in the planning and implementation of its digitization. The constraints were both in the complex shape of the Griffin (since the representation of the overall shape should be paired by an accurate sampling of the very thin decorations carved on the surface of the statue) and the dark and often reflective bronze surface.
