I collect high quality 3d scans and files, and I have a lot in my collection. Now, they can easily access any (if it’s made available) and incorporate it into their studies right at home. Most students that are just starting out won’t be able to afford Asaro’s Planes of the Head (for example).
Back in the old days there was no way a student could bring home a sculpture or go to places to study them. Artists today are very blessed with the abundance of resources that are out there.
