MAXON is an Educational Corporate Sponsor of the highly anticipated “Techniques Showcase” that allows medical illustrators to share a range of useful digital techniques and creative solutions that facilitate the creation of visual materials and advance medical and scientific knowledge. MAXON will sponsor a presentation by Nobles Green II, a medical animator with Nucleus Medical Art, entitled, “Creating and Animating Ciliated Cells with CINEMA 4D’s HAIR Module and MoGraph”. Mr. Green will emphasize CINEMA 4D’s intuitive interface and logical workflow and its seamlessly integrated modules to depict complex cellular surface organelles. In the workshop entitled, “Painting Texture Maps onto 3D Models in Photoshop CS4 and Importing them into CINEMA 4D”, Fabian de Kok-Mercado employed by the Battelle Memorial Institute as the medical illustrator for the NIH National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Integrated Research facility, will demonstrate the combined power of these two industry leading software applications to produce stunning 3D designs.
