3D Modeling Workshop for Students
March 27-31, 2000
The Human Developmental Anatomy Center and SGI, Inc. sponsored a five-day, 3D modeling workshop with the St. Anne Institute for Girls in Albany, New York.The purpose of the workshop was to introduce the students to concepts of 3D visualization. Using seven O2 computers on loan from SGI and SGI's Cosmo Worlds modeling software, the students were assigned the task of creating a virtual museum exhibit.
HDAC staff compiled a list of several objects from the National Museum of Health and Medicine and students were asked to choose at least 5-6 of these objects to include in their exhibit. Additionally, students were required to include the label text for each object. The objects ranged in subject matter; biology, anatomy, embryology, history of medical technology, and civil war medicine.
Many of the students had no prior experience working with computers, so the program was a valuable and fun introduction to the world of computers and computer modeling. Upon completion of the workshop each student received a certificate of accomplishment!
