Who remembers Skye, the giant manta ray? A few years ago, we teamed up with The Florida Manta Project/@MarineMegafauna & @DigitalLife3D. This innovative collaboration resulted in an amazing & incredibly accurate 3D model of an 8-foot juvenile manta ray: https://t.co/OuDwnn2h0o

Pleased to release 3D model (w/o fur) of adult male Polar bear (Kalluk, 2.44 m) from San Diego Zoo. We thank Megan Owen & the Zoo for funding and guidance. @jerbotnet created bear from images & video and did an amazing job. #free 3D model download link

We're reminiscing about Skye the giant #mantaray that we worked with scientists from @MarineMegafauna & @DigitalLife3D to create an accurate #3Dmodel of a couple years back. Check out the model & related educational resources! ➡️ https://t.co/DsdsHG6Ori

Based on encouraging signs from @EpicGames about not removing open-access content, we are re-enabling our @Sketchfab Digital Life Site for free downloads. We will keep working on an alternative if the open-access content is disallowed, but we are hoping for a positive outcome 🙂

We revived an extinct species, virtually!

Excited to show our animated 3D model of an Imperial Woodpecker w/ @DigitalLife3D. Once the largest woodpecker in the world, the species went extinct due to human persecution. Check out the models & read about it: https://t.co/4HDBhbsOcr

New model release of a 3D extinct Imperial woodpecker - created with @LAevolving, @johnsonlmCG, Josh Medina from @UMassAmherst

Here is the flight model (fast-flapping, gliding and bounce gliding)

And here is the 3D mesh of the bird - showing all the flight feathers - all carefully reconstructed!

@jerbotnet Absolutely Jer - we will make sure its still accessible - and for free as always!

[Digital Life @DigitalLife3D]

In anticipation of @Sketchfab removing #openaccess content, we are removing download options on our 3D models & migrating our content to https://t.co/O7wcU6ngQ2 & https://t.co/kBLy4Xwp3p. Please visit those websites if you want to download our 3D animals.

@Ninjemys @duncanirschick @Sketchfab I suspect that Epic games will find out the hard way that these marketplaces won't earn much money or interest. The cultural and non-profit element brought a ton of eyes to that website - now that will be gone, and the remaining content typically does not have a lot of value

[Digital Life @DigitalLife3D]

@Ninjemys @duncanirschick @Sketchfab From what we can tell, there won't be any "open-access" - its all for a fee

[Digital Life @DigitalLife3D]

@jerbotnet @nebulousflynn Thanks Jer - it was a good run - I guess we will have to find another home for this educational work. @nebulousflynn Pity. It was a great run for @Sketchfab

We just released a 3D model of a Mantis Shrimp (Squilla empusa) created with Kate Feller from @UnionCollege

@johnsonlmCG & Josh Medina created the 3D scan from a 3D photogrammetry scan and video of a live adult.

Model details below! #Free #openaccess

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay & are sharing our interactive #greathammerhead & giantmantaray #3Dmodels. Both created to bring awareness & to educate.
