CG Channel, an online magazine dedicated to computer graphics, talks about Nucleus Medical Art, a company specializing in some of the finest graphics in medicine, some of which we’ve covered on these pages.
The company requires that all of its medical illustrators and animators-of which there currently are 16-have collegiate medical training. (Currently, all such creatives have undergraduate degrees in science, and nearly all have such graduate degrees.)…
“We recently completed a project for [Biomet, Inc.] demonstrating their new bone growth-stimulator technology,” says Brown, this client being a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of orthopedic-implant solutions for replacement of the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and small joints. “The project was unique in that we needed to take the view from a gross level of anatomy (bodily system-wide, large-scale) and medical device operation to a cellular level of reaction, then deeper to a molecular level mechanism of action, back to a cellular level reaction, and finally back to the gross anatomy level outcome. CINEMA 4D’s exquisite materials and Advanced Render module allowed the animation team to render elegant shots at the gross level. The MoGraph module, in conjunction with Thinking Particles and Pyrocluster, was used extensively to develop the complex motions and visual effects at the microscopic level. The result was an animation with a perfect visual arch and continuity thanks to everything being produced within C4D using modules.”
