• BodyParts3D(license： CC-BY-SA 2.1ja) http://lifesciencedb.jp/ag/bp3d/download/
  • You can download anatomical 3D vector data from BodyParts3D web-site. File format is *.stl or *.vtk. The 3D data can be viewd with, for example
  • ParaView http://www.paraview.org/ free, simple, easy to use.
  • Blender http://www.blender.org/ free, complicated, difficult to use, but very high-functioning. When you import anatomical data to Blender from BodyParts3D's stl format data, object may be out of scope. In such a case, press "S" and move your mouse toward center-circle, and left-mouse button down(This makes object size smaller. Default object size is extreamly big). Repeat some time. Then object will come to your seeing.

Old Japanese proverb (originally Chinese proverb) says

"百聞は一見にしかず"(Hyakubun ha ikkenn ni shikazu)

This means "one quick look is more than hearing it 100 times"

That's why I love images!
