Biomedical Imaging in 3D

Create accurate biomedical models

This is an introductory course for the scientist and artist who would like to know how to use both scientific and 3D skills for the representation of biomedical / chemical representations in the field of scientific illustration. If you've ever wondered if the images of DNA strands floating in suspension you see on the covers of science magazines are real, the answer is, of course, that they are not—they are CG models. But are they accurate? Very possibly so, and if you're a scientist or researcher wanting to create realistic, anatomically correct and appealing 3D images of biological particles (including molecules, parts of molecules, blood cells, blood clots, DNA and more), then you need this fully online and fully mentored 8-week course. Moving through the weeks, Giorgio will work with you on the best way of importing CT scanned biological items (bones, brains etc). You'll look at lighting, shading, and the best ways of making your 3D images look great. Towards the end of the course, you'll work one-on-one with Giorgio in Cinema 4D on the basics of particle dynamics in imagery. By the end of the course, you'll have several biologically-based 3D images and the beginnings of a portfolio.
