Presentation by P. David Polly at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution in 2021.

This lecture introduces you to the structural diversity of the skeleton, including differences associated with lateral undulation and dorsiflexion of the vertebral column.

Meshlab has many filters for remeshing and cleaning meshes, of which I highlight those that are frequently used.

This video goes through the selection tools in Meshlab that can be used for manual editing of the mesh. This is used in tandem with filters with mesh geometry.

Meshlab is an open source software for cleaning and editing meshes. This video gives an overview of the Meshlab interface.

This video gives an overview of the structure of meshes and things to consider when cleaning a scan generated mesh for use.

How to convert your segementations to a mesh and save from 3D Slicer

Segmenting is the process of marking out structures in CT scans for export to models. In this video, I walk through Slicer's many tools for segmentation.

Many CT scans will come in the form of image stacks, or a folder full of images. Converting these to NRRD makes them much easier to work with. This video will cover how to convert an image stack to…

3D Slicer requires a lot of RAM. By resampling your volumes to lower resolution you can prevent RAM related crashes. This video demostrates how to resample a volume.

How to use the Crop Volume module to crop volumes in 3D Slicer

How to view CT data in 3D with the 3D Slicer Volume Rendering Module.

This video covers the basic layout and navigation tools in 3D Slicer.

This video shows how to load different data formats into 3D Slicer.

An overview of the steps needed to process 3D data.

A brief overview of the different types of 3D data you can expect to use when working with 3D scans of specimens.

This video introduces to digital preparation series of tutorials developed by the Smiley lab. This series will walk you through the basic steps in process 3D digital data of fossils or other objects…
