3D Modelling project: Diaphragm

This assignment required us to retopologizse all 12 rib bones, The manubrium, Sternum, Xiphoid process and Vertebrae T1-T12. I additionally created new linkages in the coastal cartilage joining the ribs to the sternum to give the ribcage an organic look. Medical Visualisations usually give the cartilage a blue look to make it appear distinct from the surrounding bones, I personally chose to have my cartilage be pink because I thought it was more visually appealing than blue.

I modelled the Diaphragm from scratch. For the lungs I started with a pair of human lungs segmented from 3D Slicer, I then retopologised to reduce the poly count, applied sculpted detailing and textured them using different colored sponges!
