What is the "the suzanne model used by Blender"?

[Clarkszw]

I am going through the content on the website and currently on the page of Get started

In the beginning of the section, it says "Let us include the suzanne model used by Blender".

What is the suzanne model used by Blender? Should I create it myself to continue the tutorial?

Thanks in advance:)

Good catch!, you can create a PR to add the step to get suzanne model. See below

from fury.data import fetch_viz_models

models = fetch_viz_models()
# in the models dictionnary, you have suzanne model path

It is a surprise to me that this turns to be a test 😂.

I was checking the Wikipedia and rushing back to answer myself to cover this basic knowledge:

A low-polygon model with only 500 faces, Suzanne is included in Blender and often used as a quick and easy way to test materials, animations, rigs, textures, and lighting setups. It is as easily added to a scene as primitives such as a cube or plane. The largest Blender contest gives out an award called the Suzanne Award.

Of course, I will try to create a PR to add this step. will comeback if I get stuck;)

Where can I find source code for this Getting_started page in the repo?
I am thinking modify the code and create a PR to add this step in the page. But I can't find where is located in the repo..
