  1. I'm currently working on a simulation of extinct biomes, i'm slowly learning how to make everything as realistic as possible for realtime 3d simulation. I would like to start with plants recreated from some Silurian, lower devonian and upper devonian, and slowly working to recreating the biomes in the areas where they lived and later i'l like to add animals aswell. All my research is made with google i'm not a professional in archeology or 3d art, some of the models are very simple and unpolished for now and will be updated. The project is in the early stages for now but it runs very well on most pc's Here are ome of the plants that lived in the late devonian Tetraxylopteris and leaf detail Archeopteris and branch detail Calamophyton Protolepidodendropsis Uang (China) Weylandia rhenana Aneurophyton Wattieza Leclercqia
  2. I recently found on the site cults3d a very beautiful and almost complete skeleton of Microraptor gui to print with a 3D resin printer. Here is the link: https://cults3d.com/fr/mod%C3%A8le-3d/art/microraptor-gui-skeleton The only problem was the skull was missing. The creator of this specimen, Florent Germain, had not had time to finalize his skull. He'll put it later, when finished, he said. I was able to print this model and I decided to make the skull myself Lucky me, I was able to use a dental scanner (not too suitable for this kind of models) and to generate a 3d printable file . The STL file of the skull is available for free. I am not a pro of 3D modeling software so be indulgent with the result. This file can be modified or improved for the person who can. Here the link : https://cults3d.com/fr/modèle-3d/divers/microraptor-gui-dinosaur-skull-open-source I haven't tried to print it on a printer, but it should work. Enjoy ! Some photos of the skull and skeleton, I'll update this topic when everything will be finished.

    Neogene ungulates

    Hello again. I have been tinkering with 3d scans again. Using a camel skull and llama body from the idaho virtualization lab via sketchfab, Itried to recreate Syndyoceras, a protoceratid. I am quite happy with the skull and do actually have not much of an idea about the postcranial skeleton. At the moment its a flattened llama minus some neck. I think the feet should be four-toed, but I didn´t find good references for the size and shape. What do you think? Any suggestions to make it more accurate? I added tags for some other herbivore mammals I plan to build over time because I think I cannot add new tags once I started a topic. Thanks, J
  4. Models can be viewed using this website: Online 3D Viewer or through other software. These are two very nice examples found in the Rocky Ridge Sandstone in Larimer County, Colorado. I am not able to upload many files at a time but I will be making posts occasionally with models of either inoceramid bivalves or scaphite ammonites. 123223080_Inoceramus-Kprl(2)-9.glb

    Egg in England?

    Hi there ! If anyone has any info what this could be as to me looks egg like ? Just very unusual surface to any other rock I’ve seen ! Any feed back would be great! Sullivan (Norfolk England)
  6. I finally completed the reorder of my collection of fossils and minerals. It is a wooden hexagonal display cabinet of several wood/glass shelf; in the pictures attached I only show some of them. I 3D printed more than 20 custom drawer compartments for the smallest specimens. I decided to go for a modular design, so I can adapt every compartment to the specimen. As printing material, I used a "wood PLA" filament 3D printed with 1 mm nozzle on the Alfawise U20 3D printer. LINK I finally added a strip LED inside the cabinet door and powered it via a USB power-bank - so it is fully wireless. In this picture you can see some of my recent purchases: Two Sinosauridae indet. teeth from Kem Kem One Acheroraptor tooth from Hell Creek formation, Powder River Co., Montana Some Mosasaurus teeth from Kem Kem One Pterosaurs tooth from Kem Kem A piece of Rhinocerontidae indet. jaw from South Dakota Some ammonites, shark teeth, a Flexicalymene ouzregui, a couple of echinoids (I found the white one in a brick!); the Velociraptor skull is 3D printed as well. This is the other side. The big sand echinoid was also found by me in a brick! On the right there's a nice fossil coral: I never seen something similar, please let me know if you know it's name. Three fossil fishes and a nice ammonites cluster with some quartz in the background. At the end, some minerals... Now I only have to finish the cataloging of all specimen. I already finished with fossils, now I have to start with minerals - it will be very looong! What do you think? Do you like it? Ciao!

    tetralophodon lower jaw

    hi i work at is moment on tetralophodon restoration, my girls have prepping the skull ,but i miss the lower jaw, i look for one 3D file of the lower jaw of tetralophodon, whatever the size . for realizing the cast of the complete head for one moroccan university. thanks

    Is it from a horse?

    Can somebody help me identify this? I have this bad scan of a fossil found near the river, it seems like a horse jaw, or a Megaloceros Here is where i found it This is a tooth that came out Nearby on the same river bank i found lots of fossil bones from Mammuthus meridionalis, Megaloceras, a bovine scull and i donated them to the museum, here is a photo with some of the bones on display in the Bucharest Geology museum.
  9. I sculpt scale model dinosaur skulls (and more) on a popular 3D printing service. I put a lot of research and effort into getting these as accurate as I can. These are my personal copies, painted in acrylic with D.I.Y stands.
  10. Just under 7 years ago (though I remember it like yesterday), I had the great good fortune to go out fossil hunting on (in) the Peace River with forum member, fossil hunter extraordinaire, and all-around great guy @Sacha. We went out to a site that at the time was producing some nice mammoth material which I was calling the "Elephant's Graveyard" or the "Proboscidean Pocket". John was consistently pulling up some nice specimens but I just wasn't quite turning up the goods--until I did. I lucked into not only a trip-maker of a find but still my most impressive fossil from the river. If you missed this back when it happened you can catch-up on a trip report for a really great outing here: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/54684-more-may-mammoth-mania/ I've pulled a number of good size chunks of mammoth tooth from the river but that day in May was the only complete mammoth tooth I've ever found. I've since donated all of the partial specimens to the FLMNH's Peace River Paleo Project (PRiPP): https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/vertpaleo/amateur-collector/pripp/ I've kept back the complete tooth for a while longer since seeing it in the house when I walk by it recalls the fond memories of its discovery. Eventually, before long it too will end up with the FLMNH collection. When I donated the other mammoth molar chunks Richard Hulbert mentioned that it would be a good idea some day to have the complete tooth scanned. This could allow the 3D model of this tooth to be viewed by researchers or possibly provided as a downloadable model for teachers or others to 3D print a (less weighty) copy of their own. Since the prep lab in Dickinson Hall on the UF campus opened back up last summer I've had the opportunity to volunteer a couple of days a week prepping a variety of fossils. Several times the fossil that I had just finished cleaning up was taken for 3D imaging. Just down the hall from the prep lab is the office where the do some of the specimen imaging. Victoria Tran, a student at UF, who has learned how to use the 3D scanner over the last couple of years and works for the museum producing some wonderful 3D models of a variety of interesting specimens (turtles, tortoises, alligator skulls, etc.). We've chatted about the technology which is right up my alley as it combines computers, photography and fossils. I've watched her work on several scans and the process is really technological magic and great fun to watch as the image takes shape on the computer screen. I had cause to bring my mammoth tooth into Dickinson and it occurred to me that this would be a good time to have it scanned as Richard had suggested last year. I got the approval to have Victoria spend a bit of time imaging the big tooth and took a few snaps (and some inexpertly executed short video captures) to give others a bit of a peek as to how this process works. Victoria scanning the mammoth tooth from several angles on a turntable which she can rotate as she captures various views. Video1.mp4 Editing away (in pink) pixels from the turntable base. Three different views (color coded) of the tooth seen as a surface mesh. Color information wrapped onto the 3D mesh surface. The various scans from the multiple viewpoints are aligned and combined by the software (the tech magic) and a final composite is created. A little bit of clean-up and post-processing and the 3D model will be complete. Video2.mp4 Just thought I'd share this fascinating technology with those who don't have access to the inner workings of a museum. Cheers. -Ken
  11. Hello everybody, This is my first post and first piece of artwork I would like to share and, hopefully, receive some feedback. I do 3D animation and rendering for living, but paleontology is my life long interest and passion. Here is my 3D reconstruction of Cambrian trilobite Olenoides serratus that was a common member of the famous Burgess Shale biota. I actually live just 250 km apart from the famous Burgess Shale quarry (and 100 km from Albertan Red Deer badlands rich with dinosaur fosslis).

  13. Hi everyone! As I have mentioned several times, being a 3D artist I am trying to move into the field of paleoart. Recently I have started modeling Ceratosaurus nasicornis in 3D, and I really want to make it as accurate and plausible as possible. Here is what I have got so far: a basic model done in 3ds Max. After this I am planning to take it to ZBrush and add more muscle definition, sking wrinkles, scales and other fine details. At this stage this is just the base and I would like to share it with you guys in order to receive some feedback from those who know their dinosaur anatomy. Did I get the shape and overall structure right? Constructive criticism is more then welcome, pretty much this is what I am asking for here. 1. Mesh 2. Body 3. Perspective 4. Back 5. Top view 6. Head close-up
  14. Over the past few years, I have been collecting(purchasing) various bones of the giant armadillo, Holmesina septentrionalis from the internet. My goal is to eventually build an entire skeleton. Since I live in Colorado, purchasing bones is my only choice. Recently I purchased a left astragalus bone and decided to try and create a right astragalus with my 3d printer. Using my iPhone, I took about 50 pictures of the bone at various angles against a white background. Using Agisoft Metashape and Meshmixer software, I was able to create a 3d image of the bone. This took some trial and error. YouTube instructional videos were very helpful. The 3d image was then loaded into Cura software and printed on my Ender 3 Pro printer. See image of the final painted bone. On the left is the original bone, on the right is the new 3D printed bone.
  15. Fellow WIPS member Shellie Luallin, who is expert in 3D imaging of fossils https://sketchfab.com/Paleogirl recently imaged a presumed Pennsylvanian blastoid of mine from Cherokee County, OK and generously made it available as a free download: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/pentremites-rusticus-e729f54539014770b0128b000fca841b Note the very pronounced interambulacral areas (deltoids) where the hydrospires are developed. Katz (1978) https://www.jstor.org/stable/1303971?seq=1 lumped exisiting variants into one species P. rusticus based on hydrospire similarity Given that this distinctive morphologic end member is stratigraphically restricted and present a population, perhaps this conclusion should be revisited.
  16. Hi dear forumers. Need you help. May be some of you have a proper experience in printing 3d models of fossils. The great task appeared in my path. I trying to make a paleontology museum in my town. Our family have a more than 20 years of experience in paleohunting an we dream about showing to people what a beautyful and unique ancient creatures have been living here, near our home. And we want to show how interestin is our sciense: paleontology. We have a thousands of fossils of all systems from middle jurassic series, all of cretaceous systems to miocene series, in 300km zone aroun our city. The pearl of our collection: fragment of lower mosasaurus jaw. But not everybody can imagine how great that sea monster was. And in my brain births an idea to print a full scale mosasaurus skull. So may be some of you have such experience and can help me with hints and solutions about this problem. May be you know a proper link. The links that i found in web aren`t free. I haven`t much money, and i scear about resolution of virtual model and quality of printing. Also may be some of you know where to dind a good resolution photo of masasaurus scull. Thanks everybody for help.
  17. My 3D print of a full size Citipati oviraptor skull. 3d files came from: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/life-size-citipati-oviraptor-skull-and-cervical-vertebrae. I had no idea how to paint when I started this. A lot of Google searching on how to paint and experimentation. Also printed Life size baby T-rex skeleton, which is about 7' long. I started 3d printing about a year ago when my wife and kids bought me an Ender 3 Pro for Christmas. Pretty soon I will have my own dinosaur museum in the house.

    Baby T-rex 3d print

    Here is my baby T-rex 3d print. 3d files came from https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/life-size-baby-t-rex-skeleton-part-01-10. This one took me about 8 months to complete.
  19. Hey everyone I hope you’re all staying healthy! I recently saw this post on TFF FB page, unfortunately I just now submitted a request to join the group and cannot comment to ask for the link. So, my question to anyone how can help me, can you provide a link to the software he’s talking about. Those 3D models are super! I want to make some for myself. Any response from you guys would be appreciated, I’m very honored to be a part of this fantastic community. -Nick
  20. I have researched for a while now on these bones i have in my collection and only thing i can find that is pretty close to what i have are sauropod metatarsals. Can anybody maybe confirm this or what they may be from? The 3D models are very accurate i put the measurements on the 3d models just click on the annotations. They are from the morrison formation here in Colorado, thanks to anybody that can help! 1st bone: 2nd bone:

    Crinoid holdfast 3D

    Have you ever wondered what the holdfast root system looked like? I did. So I prepped one of my least costly duplicates to see the whole picture. Here are the before photos.

    3D Printer Files

    I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of somewhere that has 3-D printer files available for download of fossils, specifically skulls. I teach geology over the summers to children, and would love to incorporate a couple 3-D printed skulls if possible. I believe I have located a 3-D printer and a friend who is willing to let me print a few things. If anyone has a website that they can recommend which makes its 3-D printer files available or would be willing to share their own files with me, I would greatly appreciate it. No preference on species, variety is preferred to show a better depiction of Earth's history.
  23. Hi! I found this rad fish at a local sale, but the seller has no information on it. Is it authentic? They had some semi-suspicious specimens on the table, but this looks real to me. Any thoughts? Thanks!
  24. After the Velociraptor skull, I finally finished another very long project: the baby T. rex skull designed by Inhuman Species, a 3D printed museum quality fossil replica of a 2-3 years old Tyrannosaurus rex. I really love this project and I made a video of the making from the 3D printing to the painting - I hope you like it. If you're wondering, I 3D printed the skull with the Alfawise U30 in PLA plastic; please watch the video and turn on subtitles to learn more about the tools and the making processes. If your're addicted or interested in 3D printing, you can't miss those topics:
