Animation for Research and Education

Description

These selected samples of animation provide an overview of the basic styles and techniques we offer – from high-end 3D animation to 2D animation and everything in between. Contact us to discuss your project and see more examples.

3D Animation with Complex Modeling

This turntable animation showcases a 3D model of a rabbit liver, the hepatic vessels, and the portal vein created with Dr. Eleni Liapi. The model was developed from CTA imaging of a rabbit using 3DSlicer, Zbrush, Cinema4D, Arnold Renderer, and Adobe After Effects.

This video uses medical animation to explain the complex disease processes of human Lyme disease. The animation depicts the initial Lyme disease infection, the mechanisms of immune system evasion, and the dissemination and progression of disease. The Association of Medical Illustrators  recognized this project involving members of the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Research Center. The Lyme Disease Animation: Infection, Immune System Evasion & Progression received an award of excellence for meeting the highest standards of the profession. 

This 3D animation for patient communication depicts a Neuroangiography Suite. The machinery was simplified and modeled specifically for this animation. The animation was produced for Johns Hopkins Interventional Neuroradiology.
This is a short clip from a longer 3D animation produced with models that were sculpted and created with 3D software. It depicts current shortcomings of endovascular treatments for closing pathological blood vessels.

2D Animation with 3D Components Added to Depict Research Results

This animation depicts early research study results using 2D animations integrated with 3D elements. 3D elements include the stent and particle flow of the red blood cells.

2D Animation with 3D Components Added to Depict a Clinical Concept

This animation depicts the clinical concept of sheath movement complications in pediatric patients using 2D animations integrated with 3D elements. 3D elements include part of the femoral artery and the sheath.

2D Animation with Didactic Illustrations

These 2D animations were created using a hand-drawn style combined with minimal animation effects to depict some key differences between normal blood flow in the brain and pathological blood flow that occurs with vein of Galen malformations. These animations were created as quick visual reference material for patients of Johns Hopkins Interventional Neuroradiology.
