Medical illustration and visualization 3ds Max and Maya software are used in the medical field to create accurate and realistic visualizations of complex physiological processes and medical procedures through both high-quality video and VR experiences. This content can be used to train doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to support high-quality healthcare delivery. It can also educate patients about the intricacies of the human body and the possible benefits of medical interventions. The medical illustration team at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) routinely collaborates with researchers and scientists to develop compelling 3D imagery, animated videos, and motion graphics that convey health risks such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, and more. The team leans on a range of 3D content creation applications, including Autodesk 3ds Max tools for modeling, animation, and VFX and Arnold technology for rendering. In designing the iconic COVID-19 coronavirus image, they used 3ds Max software to make a precise, high-contrast image with strong details and textures to best help the public visualize and understand the invisible threat.
