The NIH Library is part of the Office of Research Services (ORS) in the Office of the Director (OD). The NIH Library in Building 10 serves the information needs of NIH staff and select Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies. For more information about modeling and printing at the NIH Library, visit. For Compositing, 3D projections, rotoscoping, and 2d motion graphics Nuke is the industry standard in addition to After effects. in addition to 3ds Max, Maya and Blender as well because concept artists use 3D software too. The library also makes available free plastic 3D printing on a Makerbot Replicator 2, Replicator 2x, and Stratasys uPrint. For Concept art and matte painting, Photoshop is the go-to software because it has been used for this purpose for decades now. I recently worked at the birthplace of visual effects, Industrial Light & Magic. 3ds Max works with most major renderers to create high-end scenes and stunning visuals for design visualization. Maya 3d graphics designing software was developed by Autodesk and named as. The library currently offers a variety of modeling programs, both free and licensed, in Pod 1. Learn everything you need for 3D animation in Autodesk Maya: Modeling. The script works for all newer versions of Maya and uses the DDConvexHull. The NIH Library supports technology education like 3D modeling through its Technology Hub.

The NIH Library has this licensed software available in Pod 1 as a part of the Technology Hub tools.

Thursday, March 3, from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., the NIH Library will host a demonstration to help beginners start 3D modeling for printing. Autodesk Maya is a powerful modeling tool best known for film animation, but can be used to create 3D models suitable for printing on the NIH Library's 3D printers.
