Looks like a simple, but very nice light setup. Gratulation.

Perfect Tora!!!

Yes, the transluceny is quite high for a dry bone but the title says it's a reconstruction model,
so I thought it can be a wax / silicon or anything other... So it's reasonable

btw/ i always wonder, what is 2097

....what to say Tora , teach us please!

I'm so sorry to have to pull up this really old thread again but i just have to ask where you found this CT scan data and how you converted it ?

Some insight in the process would be nice ..if you still remember how you did it. And yeap i still like this rendering alot. It's great!

maximus,

I used to work in the medical field - in the department for neurosurgery to be exact- and thus I had access to various types of specimen that have been scanned in a CT.
The skulls is a real persons skull and has been scannend in a 1mm raster and was later imported into 3ds max via the STL fileformat. It came in at around 2million polys.
I was working on a project back them trying to determine the pros and cons of a virtually modeled bonecap against a traditionally (in situ handmade) cap.
But the details are very complicated so I stop here.
Back to your question: I am afraid that such a model is almost impossible to obtain if you do not have access to them due to some work relations. Or -if you have really need it and have a few grands spare- you could always buy a physical skull model made for educational purposes like here
http://www.anatomie-modelle.de/modelle_ ... QS8_3.html
and scan it in your own 3d scanner here:

That would also be possible, but still inferior since a CT scan captures all cavities inside the bone as well.
