OsiriX Tutorial

Okay, as I was finishing up an assignment in OsiriX, I discovered this nifty shading control. So, as I went through it, I decided that others needed to know about this. In my own little world, no one else knew about this, so I wrote a tutorial. So, here comes OsiriX tutorial the second.

OsiriX: The Shading Menu

This covers, as it states, the shading menu within OsiriX. It is a set of very 3D-esque controls that influence the ambient, diffuse, and specular settings of your data set. Basically, it allows you to give your renders just a little bit more polish.

Bassett Collections

Well, the Bassett collection of images has been re-released. For everyone that has no idea what the heck that means, take a look at some of these images. Not only has eHuman and Dr. Brown put up the slides that were taken by Dr. Bassett, but annotations as well. Beautiful line drawings made from the still pictures are very informative and really aid in the understanding of the complex anatomy.

The really neat part is that all of these images were actually taken with stereographic cameras and can be viewed in 3D. Obviously, not on your regular, everyday machine - although that could change in the future. In the mean time, these images are fantastic and should be appreciated for the works of art that they are.
