Neurons

Test/experiment of neurons. testing: camera noise, Depth of Field, Additive Opacity, and self illumination.

The major purpose of this test is to build a medical/scientific animation portfolio. I've always been interested in scientific animation on shows such as Nova, Body Story or even CSI or House. However often they look clearly 3D and fake or even just boring. Not saying I can do better, but I will try.

Hi there. could u be specific on how you shoot these neurons? are they the real neurons of human?

@MargaretDuan CG model of a simple neuron shape. This was a test to see if I could get a desired visual effect in 3D studio Max.

3D studio max. The camera was set up with a noise handler for the shaking. The Depth Of Field was also controlled in a similar way. This clip has been used by a few med/science students in the past for presentations. so I guess it gets the point across :)

That's nice! I liked the blur variation thing. What program did you use?
