The Zygote 3D Male and Female Anatomy Collection is the most comprehensive and well crafted collection available today. Each Model/System within the collections maintains true to life human shape with accurate proportion and positioning. The foundation of this collection starts with an entire skeleton model based on CT scans, and upon which all the other systems fit together. This collection has been in development since 1995 and is continuously being upgraded and improved upon. With the license of a Zygote Collection, you not only receive the highest quality 3D anatomical data, you also gain a partner you can rely on for future projects and objectives.
These 3D human anatomy models are made primarily of quadrilateral polygons. This allows for cleaner surface rendering as well as seamless subdividing for greater resolution. Geometry within the Collection has been carefully crafted to provide resolution in key areas sufficient for high quality renders, while at the same time eliminating superfluous geometry that hinders functionality and render time.
Each system within this collection correlates with the other anatomical systems in scale and proportion. This collection was created through years of development working with scanned human forms, photographic illustrative anatomical atlases, MRI/CT Scans, and with integrated consultation from medical professionals and doctors.
Each system is provided with hierarchic grouping. For example, within the skeleton collection, each bone is organized into a separate, named, group of geometry, allowing animators to quickly select any specific bone or group of bones to work with.
Zygote created this collection with four standards in mind.
Along with the medical accuracy of the models within the collection, we also provide as an add-on option photo real color and bump texture maps for the Muscles, Skin, Skeleton, Heart, and Organs.
All textures are applied through use of UV coordinates. The amazing realism within the textures was generated through the use of human specimens. The muscles themselves are controlled through twenty different color maps at 2048 x 2048 pixel resolutions. For most situations the user will want to use quarter size muscle maps.
3D Science's [Zygote's] services and models have proven themselves time and time again. When the producers for television show "The Doctors" approached me to develop a graphics solution to their daily dose of medical information, I immediately knew that they needed the Zygote Human Anatomy Collection. The collection has been a critical piece of the toolkit ever since. I've been using their models and services since 2004 and have not found anything that comes close. The accuracy and high level of detail saved us hundreds of hours in potential clean-up and preparation. Above all, the efficient mesh density makes their models easy to work with, manipulate and render on a tight budget and deadline.
