In the subtropical greenhouse of the Siberian Botanical Garden of Tomsk State University, there appeared 3D printed sculptures of mythological characters — elves, a winged cat, and a baby dragon.

The idea was to create moisture-resistant photogenic sculptures that would complement the exposition of greenhouse plants and draw the attention of visitors to the mythical creatures of the world cultural heritage. 3D models of the sculptures were designed and printed on a 3D printer, being then polished and painted to look like stone.
