 INTRODUCTION TO BIOVISUALIZATION:
Building skills to compete for projects in life science fields
1 DAY • $199
INTENDED AUDIENCE: 3D Artists with little or no scientific/medical experience.
In this one day course, you will be introduced to the exciting field of biovisualization. The Boston area is rich with opportunities for life science-related projects, since 3D visualizations have become commonplace in both Biotech/Pharma marketing campaigns as well as academic research. We'll begin with a quick primer on biological structure and resources for obtaining the biological data as a starting point for projects. We'll discuss ongoing molecular visualization in this area and focus on how Maya's broad set of tools is being adapted for biovisualization. Finally, we'll review methods for importing and manipulating PBD data, and work with the recently released Molecular Maya toolkit.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
* have gained some background on the structure of biological molecules and how to obtain relevant data as a starting point for projects
* have an understanding of how 3D animation packages like Maya are being adapted to create scientific visualizations
* have a working knowledge of the Molecular Maya toolkit which facilitates the import and animation of biological datasets
