Dynamic Movement of the Human Spine Showcased in 3D

Anatomy Standard, a team of enthusiasts known for their detailed 3D models of the human body and a go-to resource for anatomical reference, has once again made life easier for Character Artists by offering a closer look at one of the most important bone structures in the human body.

This time, the team shared a demo showcasing the dynamic movement involved in the axial rotation of the spine, followed by an anterior cross-sectional view. According to Anatomy Standard, this helpful 3D model was recorded directly in Biomechanics of the Spine, their dedicated app that features a realistic, movable 3D model of the spinal column – designed to help students explore and professionals demonstrate the structure and biomechanics of the human backbone.

Described by the team as "the most accurate 3D model of the human spine," Biomechanics of the Spine comprises over 500 separate anatomical structures, including bones, cartilage, vertebral discs, and layers of ligaments.

It features a user-controlled dynamic slider system, the ability to set poses and morph between them to illustrate complex spinal movements or deformities, and layered anatomical views that enable detailed exploration of the spine's anatomy and biomechanics.

Last year, Anatomy Standard also shared a great showcase demonstrating the "antagonistic action" of the teres major versus the rotator cuff muscles, which lets you examine and get a better understanding of the shoulder girdle and its movements:
