@sab7ir @Rob Oudendijk It may be caused by the Adblock extension. If you tweak the authorizations, you should get the file.

@Lluís Vinent @Nicolas Audibert The 45 pages with handmade signatures to open a bank account for the association has been sent. I followed a webseminar to learn to use the 'HelloAsso' account. -The website 'HelloAsso' does not propose an English form for adhesion yet. -They have their own crowdfunding platform, it is very easy to use. -'HelloAsso' takes no commission for their service but proposes a 'prix libre' to support their platform through a popup at the end of the donation (/adhesion?) process. It seems fair to me. For a first try, I started creating a campaign to fund the development of a female model, for example: https://admin.helloasso.com/z-anatomy/collectes I propose to leave this part only to the ladies and will share a call on 'Linkedin' to find who want to lead this. As the only person having worked on the blend for the male model and having made a first try to derivate a female model from it, I would propose my advises. The priority goes to the voluntary work. I'll create a draft of a campaign to create a serious game and propose to Lluis to administrate it.

9: Having several administrators and/or transfering a youtube account to another email address is only possible with company youtube accounts. I created this new 'company youtube account' here: and invited @Lluís Vinent and @Nicolas Audibert as administrators for the moment. I can now use my name on my gmail address and can transfer all the videos, hitoric and likes on the new account and remove mine. The only downside is that the new kind of URL is a bit different (maybe it can be solved, idk): I'll finalize this process only if somebody is willing to use this channel to post new videos about the atlas (more than once). I was thinking that if I spend a day or two sculpting the temporal bone for example, I could do a timelapse and tutorial at the same time to inspire other people to contribute. This part is therefore more to see with Bartosz and Marek.

The Column 'T' now has an automatic translation in Turkish and you have an editor's access.

Oh, allright, I got it. This is the file of Biomechanics. It only contains the bones and insertions because the other structures haven't been parented to the rig yet; only the skeletal system moves for the moment. The whole file of anatomy is at the top of the page 'Atlas'; the one you use is the one at the bottom of the same page; it is a starting point for the people willing to develop the study of biomechanics using the 3D files of BodyParts3D/Z-Anatomy. These two files have been separated because the parenthood relationships that are needed to import and recover the organization in Unity (Anatomy) contradict the parenting needed to rig the structures (Biomechanics).

Hi Janis, I verified both the template and the portable versions of the .blend and all the main collections are inside. You have probably opened the light version 'Z-Anatomy-lite.blend', the last file of the folder, which is available to let the people with weaker devices select only the systems they want to see. It can be used exactly as the regular file; clicking on the collections imports them separately. To get the whole file and the configuration, you can double click the 'Z-Anatomy.exe' that is stored just before the 'light' version.

Hi there, Do you mean that you would like to have the website translated in Portuguese? If it is so and that you can take a moment to translate the text, it can be done pretty quickly.

Hi there, sorry for the delay. Here it is. Please feel free to invite the people who may want to join the discussions.

Z-Anatomy is now a French association and can pretend to a first subsidy. The demand must be sent before 14/10/2022 and is meant to fund activities in 2023. The projects we were thinking of financing are: -Development and correction of anatomical models -The creation of an up-to-date mobile version -The creation of a serious game, (with the same principles as 'Poke-a-Muscle') -The creation of libraries of 'dissections' which could be stored and shared in a cloud by users.

This consideration would be particularly pertinent if there were many people editing and creating descriptions, correcting the translations, but for the moment, the number of contributions is extremely low. 1: Would another database system as Wikimedia do the same job? 2: Would it resolve the problem with the WebGL export? 3: Would it be possible to get an URL that opens the atlas on a specific anatomical structure? 4: Would it be possible to have a funcional link at the bottom of the description that open the corresponding Wikipedia's page?

Here is a summary of the pros and cons of the main 'open source' licenses.

Hi, It is the right place for these communications. Here is the information about how to contribute and the section about anatomists and 3D modelers should provide you most of the answers that you need. This kind of collaboration is the objective of the whole project and I hope that there will be soon much more teachers, researchers and professionals involved in reporting errors, or sending corrected 3D models. The model did not evolve much lately because there was much to do to get everything working inside the app. Whenever you correct a part, you can just send it back as a (zipped) .blend (if it contains vessels or nerves -because they are 'curves' and not 'meshes'), only with the parts that are modified without worrying about the materials, custom properties etc. If it is about meshes, any readable format will do. Correcting the vessels and nerves as curves is much easier, cleaner and lighter than to use meshes. I invite you to learn and ask me any question to master these techniques (see the small .txt file with explanations in the 3D modelers post) because it would allow you to easily improve a lot of things by yourself, and I would integrate these changes in the .blend that would then be integrated in the app.

I've been wondering why you prefere to see inside the objects as if they were empty. I'd rather call 'artefacts' the colored parts of the sections on you image: they correspond to the visible outer surface of an object. It is either visible because there is no object in front (that should be present if we consider that there is no void in the head) or because of interesecting objects (in which case the outer surface of one object appears beyond the inner surface of the other). On the long term, I'd recommend to keep the shadeless material and to correct progressively all the intersections & voids. We could also create several cross section colors to facilitate the identification of the object's type of tissue. Just in case, the fastest way to switch between the plain and empty visual display is to press 'Z' to switch between 'Rendered viewport shading' and 'Solid viewport shading'.

Hi Seb, By pressing Shift+F3 (several times if needed) you'll open the shader editor. Each material uses the same nodegroup called 'Cross section'. If you see this, select the before last goup-node and press tab to open/edit it. When you are in, you'll see the following setup that deals with the transparency caused by the plane position. The before last green one in the next picture is the 'Cross section' nodegoup that you want to edit. Select it and by pressing Tab, you can open/edit it. Just delete the lowest (or three lowest nodes) and it should remove the white color on all the materials at once.

Good evening Mr El-Marakby; to 3D print a 'dissection' (a serie of objects); you will probably want to merge them into one object (using the 'Booltool' add-on or the boolean modifier). It requires some work to be done but the techniques needed are standard in the 3D printing process and always good to learn if you use this technology. In principle all the objects are already 'repaired' and printable but the vessels are curves that will need to be converted into meshes before becoming mergeable.

Yes, it would be great having much more poses. The animations could also be 'cleaned' and propose a biomachanicaly-correct walk/run/stand up/etc.

Most of the energy is still invested in making the content of the .blend match to the translations, the definitions, the Unity import process and its inner logic. With the definitions, the translations, the linked-duplication, the parenthood relationships, the groups, the several colors on top of each other, etc. it becomes a little bit difficult but I believe that it will be all working great soon and that progresses will be made on the 3D model itself. The last version shared on the atlas page has a better spinal cord and pharynx, btw. The app is going to be really cool, stay tuned.

Hi there, Glad to hear that somebody will continue this part. The file that is on the website is all I have. Only a quick test to move the acromial head of the deltoid on a pure abduction movement has been made, and it used mostly corrective shapekeys. The rigging of the muscles (and all the anatomical structures) is possible although the level of complexity implies to find strategies to deal with the unavoidable interpenetrations and imperfections that will occur because of this level of complexity. Would simplified muscles shapes facilitate the exercice? I'd be glad to follow your work to learn how you do it or give a hand. If your result works, I'd like to share it on this website too.

Good morning, The biomechanical file shared on the 'Atlas' page of this website is the beginning of what you need. It contains only the skeleton of the model and has an armature with amplitude limits and 'drivers' that reproduce the main relations between bone movements. Blender has the tools to define how the soft tissues would move in each position (Weight painting, corrective shapekeys, etc.) but for the moment nobody is working on it.
