Illustration and design of research paper graphics

[Joshua Hoffman]

I was recently hired as an engineer in a sports biodynamics lab, and we are looking for the best software to create anatomic images for our research papers. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a design or illustration software we could use. Thanks!

Hi Joshua,
I'd like to use Poser. For the anatomic images, you could use the "anatomical pose/figure" from the Poser library. The Lynda.com has video tutorials for Poser. You can learn the software from there. Some universities do have Lynda.com university account. So, you could watch those videos for free.
