  • How to get Human bones (skeleton) as 3d-data e.g. as .stl-filesfor publication purpose (summary of answers)

    Hallo,

    Ton van den Bogert ask me to post a follow up of the anwers to my question how to get human bones (skeleton) as .stl files free for publication uses.

    Most detailed help I get from Serge VAN SINT JAN, Ph.D. (sintjans@ulb.ac.be) Associate Professor, Marie Curie Fellow
    Department of Anatomy (CP 619), Université Libre de Bruxelles, the coordinator of the VAKHUM project.

    After VAKHUM they produce a public dataset including a full skeleton:

    >You can freely download it from:

    >
    >
    >Then click on the 4th link ("ULB Virtual Human")
    >
    >
    >You can display the data using a customized software called Data Manager (available from same
    >link) or from

    >
    >Within Data Manager you can export the geometries to STL format.

    The stl-files are very detailed. For my illustrations I have used the open source java software ArtOfIllusion (http://www.artofillusion.org) to produce smaller files and the open source raytracing tool povray (http://www.povray.org)to render the pictures.

    Many thanks to all of you send me private data and hints about the "ULB Virtual Human" and how to use them.
