Animal Biology

Dissection is to science what being behind the scenes is to theater: it helps us to understand what we are unable to see. In the framework of a project on animal dissection headed by the SEMM (Education and Multimedia Services of the University Lille 1) and funded by the UNISCIEL (Online Sciences University), 3DMedicus handled some very distinct requests. For each project, we had to depict the interior mechanisms of different animals in all their complexity and bring to light the secrets of living things. Our final objective? To bring the virtual as close to the real as possible.



The starfish

How does a starfish breathe? What are its digestive stages? The multiple shots in macro mode, despite the high level of precision, were only able to provide partial answers because the functioning organs were not sufficiently visible.

In this project, the combination of 2D illustrations and 3D models allows us to see things more clearly. Our goal was to be able to distinguish the respiratory system from the digestive system. To manage this, 3Dmedicus worked from real samples of a starfish but also high resolution studio shots. Our ability to clearly visual the virtual dissection depends in large measure on the use of different color combinations.
The grasshopper

The head of a grasshopper is composed of parts which are so fragile that it is almost impossible to handle them without the risk of damaging them. In this context, virtual dissection is an essential interactive tool.

3DMedicus didn’t create a virtual grasshopper head using as its base a giant, plaster cockroach head simply as a challenge, but because the two insects share numerous similarities. The elements making up both craniums are put together in practically the same way. The 3D modelling of some of these different elements based on high resolution photos allowed us to achieve not only a dynamic ensemble in which each anatomical part fits together but also a detailed use of textures which brings clarity to the images.
The herring

The herring

Two major difficulties are encountered when dissecting a herring in order to examine its respiratory functions. The first resides in the nature of respiration, which is complex and hard to show because it is so rapid. The second stems from the properties of oxygen, which is invisible in water.

How does one illustrate the decomposition of respiratory movements in a herring without distorting reality? Because it is complex, stealthy and above all invisible, the path of oxygen from the mouth → gills → operculum was illustrated by small bubbles. To make the understanding of this process even clearer, 3Dmedicus represented the gills as “hairs” whereas a system of pre-defined, color-coded cross sections highlights the group of organs.
The mouse

The mouse is the laboratory animal par excellence. If, for 3DMedicus, its virtual dissection was crucial, the genuine challenge was to create an animation which took into account the smallest details of the bone anatomy of this famous little vertebrate. 

Tried and true methods always reappear. In this project, a magnifying glass was used to examine a mouse skeleton on a scale of 1:1. The outcome is a very accurate modelling which enabled us to create an interactive 3D PDF.

    “Working in close collaboration with a computer graphics professional meant not only having the assurance that the finished product would be first-rate, but also the privilege of progressing in my understanding of modeling structures. If 3D construction is able to increase our knowledge, particularly in anatomy, it allows us at times to provide answers to scientific inquiries.”

    With notions as different as computer graphics, education, or more generally, human relations, 3Dmedicus always remained clear-headed and lucid. I’ll remember their thirst for precision and accuracy, their developed esthetic sense and the passion for what they do.

    What I’ll remember from my collaboration with 3Dmedicus is their vision of the market, of the field of innovation, their support of the project and their commitment and reliability on both a professional and personal level. Working with 3Dmedicus means collaborating in a trustworthy and effective environment. Communication was always clear and constructive.

    After supervising the filming and completing the videos created for users of our platform Qualya-Santé, 3Dmedicus continued its support as digital project manager. Their expertise enabled us to devise a digital marketing strategy with our partners. 3Dmedicus’s involvement was crucial at every stage. From the digital marketing strategy to managing relations with our internet service providers, from technology intelligence, to the follow-up and reporting of technical measures, they were present at every step with their unbeatable pragmatism.
