Software

Blender

A highly detailed anatomical model of the human heart, built with scientific accuracy in mind. The project combines sculpting, procedural texturing, and careful shading to produce a result suitable for medical visualization or educational content.

Final Renders

The turntable renders show the heart from all angles, revealing the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and the branching coronary vessels that run across the surface of the myocardium. The wet, organic surface shader was built to convey the visceral quality of real tissue.

Close-ups

At close range, the layered texturing becomes visible: subtle surface displacement mimicking the fibrous texture of cardiac muscle, delicate veins branching across the surface, and the glossy subsurface scattering of the arterial walls.

Top Views

Overhead perspectives emphasize the complexity of the great vessels and the overall silhouette of the organ.

Viewport & Wireframe

The viewport renders and wireframe view expose the underlying topology. The mesh was built to support smooth subdivision while preserving anatomical landmarks, with color-coded arteries (red) and veins (blue) visible in the base mesh.
