Anatomic 3D Asset Development

Project Type: Optimized 3D Asset Creation

Media:

• Organic assets developed in Pixologic ZBrush (Brain, Ventricles)

• Hard Surface assets developed in Autodesk 3ds Max (Forceps, Scissors, Catheter & Stylet)

Final Presentation Format: Assets implemented into Master’s Research Project, a WebGL interactive experience

Description: The target platform for the following 3D modules was a educational resource to teach the ventriculostomy procedure, a neurosurgical procedure in which a catheter is placed within a cerebral ventricle for drainage or intracranial pressure monitoring. By simplifying textures, the anatomy, form, and placement was more clearly highlighted. Committee members agreed that the anatomy depicted was clear and easy to visually understand.
