Back to school? More like back to the pool! 🌞 Dive into the last of summer with our mini-animation—watch it here!
Now that we're seeing the start of the cicada emergence in central Iowa, it's a great time to give you what you've probably missed out on, an accelerated periodical cicada molt!
Our office teamed up with the @isuinsectzoo and @ppemisu departments for inspiration and their knowledge to give you the most accurate and lifelike 3D cicada renders and animations/designs. Thank you to the staff and departments that hosted us and if you haven't checked out the insect zoo at @iowastateu, you're missing out!
Along with this animation, you can find our clickable 3D web viewer that compares the 2 cicada broods causing a public stir, Broods XIX and XII.
Check it out at http://www.cicada360.com/ and make sure to use the x-ray feature for some awesome internal anatomy features!!
Links are available on our homepage!
This animation was created in Cinema4D and rendered with Redshift. Cicada models were developed in Zbrush and textured in Substance Painter.
Happy DNA Day!
Happy DNA Day! At iso-form, we love seeing DNA in popular media, and we often notice a few recurring mistakes. Here’s a quick rundown:
1. Twist Direction: The helix should be right-handed, just like the way a right-hand thread twists.
2. Strand Count: DNA should be depicted as a double helix.
3. Base Pairs Per Turn: Our model shows the precise 10.5 base pairs per twist, crucial for accurate molecular representation.
4. Base Pairing: Remember, adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine — it's all about the perfect match!
Accuracy matters, especially in science! We pride ourselves on creating models that are not just visually stunning but scientifically precise. Check out our work and let’s get those details right, every time! #3dprinting #animation #DNADay #sciencecommunication

Erythrocytes are red,
Nucleic acids stain blue,
Animating the body,
Is what we do.
From neurons firing,
To hearts beating true,
In pixels and frames,
We bring medical storytelling to you.
On #WorldCancerDay, we at iso-form affirm our commitment to fighting cancer through visual storytelling, illuminating disease and treatment exploration. Together, we stand in solidarity with survivors, warriors, and families touched by cancer, dedicated to advancing healthcare and making every moment count.
