Cloth studies

I thought these might be good warm-ups for some traditional surgical illustrations I am working on. The piles of cloth folds and layers of anatomical tissues present a similar challenge–a visual path of details to navigate with a cautious eye.

Skull base with 123Dcatch

Here is my first try using Autodesk's 123Dcatch app, which builds a 3D mesh out of a series of photos. Pretty amazing, there is huge potential here, and I can't wait to start using this app for work!

Dorysthenes Walkeri

I attended an Insect Drawing Workshop at a place called Nook today, taught by Kathryn Chorney, a professor at Sheridan. It was a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

I went for a beetle, Dorysthenes Walkeri.

Another batch of screenshots from TVASurg production.

I try to think about composition for shots and sequences as I model. 

I find accurate depictions of anatomical relationships are 

even more important when you are working with 3D camera movement.

Monday morning modeling

A few screenshots of early-stage modelling of liver vasculature for TVASurg videos. Initial reconstructions are output from Myrian imaging software, http://intrasense.fr 

in .obj format and retopologized in Cinema4D for use in animation.
