I am a neurologist that is involved in producing interactive medical titles and currently finishing up the final stages of an anatomically accurate mesh of the whole skeleton. Most of it is completed but we are trying to reduce the overall vertice count without comprimising its accuracy. Sam
The occipital condyles are on the bottom portion of the skull on the occipital bone. If you look at the base of the skull there is a large hole called the foramen magnum, on each side of the f. magnum are two covex shaped bone formations. Those are the condyles…
What do you mean by joint parameters for each vertebrae? In terms of what rib attaches to what vertebrae, that is a tricky question, if you really do not care to much about anatomical accuracy, then the rule of thumb is: starting with the first thoracic vertebrae attach the first…
Is there anyone that I can speak with directly who is using the program? And do you have any examples that I can look at including source code and compiled. My main use would be to be able to initially take my 3ds objects and bring them into windows so…

3d body adventure
Message #127159
In the cd-rom 3d body adventure there is an area where you can interactively rotate rendered viewpoint models in almost real-time by using your mouse. In the directory of the program there is a file called wf.exe that uses the ascii information from the 3ds files and is converted into…
My company carries the skull, including it broken down into its varying pieces so if all you need is the maxilla and teeth we can supply it. the meshes are of anatomical accuracy. Check it out, download the file c2vert.dxf in the meshs directory. Samuel Coor Medical Media 206-754-4377
If I can help in any way let me know, I would sure love to get that completed since most of what I do is medical and it needs to be precise. Thanks again Sam
I can certainly try scatter, but your second option sure sounds the best. Hopefully he is listening. Thanks Samuel Coor

I am having significant difficulties properly aligning complex 3d mesh files in the editor or keyframer. Here is the problem: I have all of the bones in the foot, 26 to be exact each bone is a separate mesh file. I load one bone and then merge the others and…

I am having some significant difficulty in placing geometry. I have a series of skeletal pieces such as the leg and foot bones. Each bone is a separate 3d mesh,what I want to accomplish is to be able to merge each mesh file into one scene so that each are…

I would appreciate it if you sent me a cataloge on what you offer. Thanks Samuel Coor Medical Media 202 41 Ave NE Olympia, Wa 98506
Parris, my company sells an ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE mesh of the vertebral column. It is priced extremely competitively. There is an example of the second cervical vertebrae in the mesh's library. C2vert.dxf. compare the rendered mesh with any anatomy book with special attention to features such as the vertebral foraman, pedicles,…
I would like a cd of your datasets including your spine. thanks Samuel Coor 202 41 Ave Oly, Wa 98506
The complete vertebral column, sacrum, ilieum, and coccyx are finished, I am just finalizing the pricing. What specifically are you looking for? If you leave me more information such as phone number and can give you all the information after the holiday weekend. By the way the remainder is just…
Yes, I did upload the vertebrae, sorry about the confusion. I tend to agree overall with the comments of the members on pricing structure. I think when it is all said and done the prices will be reasonable. Thanks for your input Sam
I should have one in the next couple of weeks. The remainder of the vertebral column is done as well as the sacrum, coccyx and ilium. All are anatomically correct! Thanks Sam
The programs I have to view the data in are 3d Studio and any of many graphic viewers if you just want to send graphic files. You can send it to me directly at Samuel Coor 202 41 Ave NE Olympia, WA 98506 I look forward to it. By the…
Thank you for all of that info, I have just learned a tremendous amount in just a few threads. I appreciate all of your input especially the pricing info. I would be very, very interested in seeing at least some portion of your high rez skeleton or skull. I did…
I agree with you, thats why I would like some guidlines from people like you on actual pricing structure. Sam
I certainly would like to talk with you in more detail regarding what you are doing. In terms of high resolution of the skeleton, after critically looking at them from a medical standpoint they are not ANATOMICALLY accurate. Let me give you an example. You mentioned that your skull is…
I ceratinly would be very interested in seeing the skeletons that are of MUCH higher resolution. Since I am in the medical profession I have done alot of research into this and have not come across anything that is higher resolution. There have been some things done with workstations and…
I had spoken with viewpoint awhile back and they were not really interested in what I had in mind at the time. I have looked at their pricing structure for there meshes and because of some feedback from other people about it I posted this message. I think there is…
In terms of the market, the mesh is really useful to people that need anatomical accuracy and not an illustrative example. So it is a niche market, also since the face count is so high just for a single vertebrae imagine what it will be like for the vertebral column…
#Pricing Mesh's
Message #107969
I would love some input from the people that do this for a living full or part time. I have uploaded a mesh c2vert which is an anatomically correct mesh file, you can expect that the remainder of the skeleton will be just as accurate. My question is what is…
Its in the process of being done now so I would say anywhere from 1-3 weeks Thats if everything goes well! Samuel Coor
The model is being done with some proprietary techniques, so I can't review them. The need for medically accurate models is really necessary in my work but I know there is a need for it for a number of reasons. If you think the vertebrae is good wait to you…

In order to get info on icon author use go aimtech. Ben Kopf is the tech support person. He is very informative and helpful. They allow you to use the software for 30 days as a trial. In terms of who I am affiliated with I have my own corporation…
I am currently in the final process of establishing a distribution channel with University of Washington to get the product to market. I am currently using version 5.1 of IconAuthor for the interactive component. The product is directed towards the medical or allied health professional due to its technical nature.…
What would be very helpful is to have the player be able to use the mci commands, like the current adesk.dll uses. This would make it possoble to have some control over playback. I think the player overall would be very helpful especially if incorporated into some of the authoring…
That is good news, how would it be possible to stay in touch? I have talked with the autocad users group here in olympia, but none of them use 3dstudio. Thanks
Would it be possible to start the users group later such as 7:00 – 9:30 or so since I have to come from Olympia. I have tried calling NW Tech a few times to talk with you, but I usually get Oma. Thanks Day phone # 206-438-2727 SAm
I use mannequin for the application i am working on. Mannequin gives a pretty good basic surface of human forms. It has a database engine in the package that allows you to input different parameters such as height, weight, sex, age, and racial characteristcs. The main purpose of the program…
