The skeleton of the forelimb of a platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus (specimen MVZ:mamm:32885), a fluid-preserved specimen from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, with elements colored to demonstrate forelimb anatomy. Scene created by Jaimi Gray (oVert team), using pre-existing mesh files (see below), which were separated, repositioned, and coloured in Meshlab and Blender.
The original model was made by Karina Riddell using Volumegraphics VGStudioMax 3.3 from a CT scan produced by a Phoenix V|Tome|X S. The model was generated to complement a learning activity designed during the UF Center for Precollegiate Education and Training workshop “3D Vertebrates: From Museum Shelves to Classrooms.” Scanning and modeling of this specimen was funded by the oVert project at the University of Florida (NSF DBI 1701714, https://tinyurl.com/oVertwiki).
