Wow... oh so creepy...
Beautiful model.
Thought about texturing it? or would that ruin the effect?

Well, it's not so much a model as the real thing; the surface is modeled on the fly. In principle it could be texture mapped, but there aren't good tools -- it would be laborious to assign every surface patch (~1/4 x number of pixels) a texture.
It would be nice to more simply color code by region. For example to highlight the feather bumps, eyes, etc.

This is bizarre...creepy even
Reminds me of H R Giger.
Quite fascinating.

Here's a little blurb about how Giger might have been influenced by Haekel's drawings of echinoderms: [link]

Yes, these have a weird and creepy first impression. But once you get past that first bite of a chicken wing, they start looking just plain wonderful.

Yea, she's hot. When I look at this, the data, I think about how this happened in 10 days (after fertalization of the egg cell).

Wow. After ten days how big is it?
Anyway very cool stereo image. [link]
