I am have been using 3DS for only a short time, but am interested in using it for creating forensic animations. I have been employed in the firearms field for over seventeen years and would like to get into crime scene reconstructions, (primarily capital cases) and performing as an expert witness. What is the best way to enter this field?

you'll probably get some replies to this from people who know more about it than i do, but i know of two or three firms which specialize in that field. i believe one of them is working on the o.j. simpson case, and i believe they are out of phoenix, arizona. they gave a talk at the 3d studio users group which i am a member of, but unfortunately i missed that meeting. if you would like to get in touch with the leader of the group who might n\know the name of the firm his name is Bob Weil, and you can call (714) 843-2048 to get his number (that is the general number for the orange coast ibm/pc user group. good luck…. i think it would be an interesting field also. there are some very good mesh figures of humans which can be purchased for use in forensic animations. it would be good to get some experience in learning to animate them.

Thanks for the info, do you know of a company that specializes in human meshes? the only one i know of is a company called biomechanical engineering, the software is humancad, do you know anything about this company? the software was pretty expensive, are there other companies out there
