Because we always see the grey matter surface of the brain, but the white matter shape is so beautiful that I just wanted to play a bit with it.

Blender Tip.
You can animate curves with hooks. However sometimes simple animating each segment may just do the trick.
The addon AnimAll lets you do that. And it also works for meshes ^_^.

My computer used to crash when animating many proteins.
Now I work switching from HR (High Resolution) and LH (Low Resolution) meshes and it helps so much.
The effective switch node is very simple copy it from below:

Getting 3D objects to behave like real biological objects is hard, if possible. However, in animation we can cheat.
One "cheat" I like is replacing one object with another from one frame to the next. In Blender3D you can animate that objects appear or disappear in both render and viewport.

I was procrastinating making a smooth endoplasmic reticulum as the structure looks so complex when I remembered I can use metaballs! It is actually so much fun.
What are you procrastinating today that could actually be very fun?

Were is the uncanny thin line?
Texturing organs is hard. The result can be gross or uncanny if too realistic.
This is a test of a rendered brain that was wisely discarded in the current production because it was too biological and not good for the audience. Mesh derived from MRI data.

I've been wanted to to work with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data for a while.
Thank you www.diffusion-imaging.com/2012/11/fibe... for all the info and data. It is so beautiful!

Also worth checking his other products. I have used the Differential Growth and I produced stunning results.

I cannot recommend more Higgsas Geometry Nodes package for Scientific illustrations with Blender (higgsas.gumroad.com/l/wrusot?lay...).
I am making a low poly model of a Laminin lattice and the Triangle grid node just went perfect ^_^

Quick tip for #Blender3D animations:
In production animation I often control many parameters that each of them is found in a different locations. Finding them takes time and mental load.
To control everything from one place, I make a Geometry Node with many sockets acting as driver controls.

... the mesh keeps it's shape without contracting!

... the mesh keeps it's shape without contracting!
Let's now make that each vertex has a little network on it. I split the edges, move them a little bit randomly and relax it a little bit with Arvellos relax points node (tempo3d.com).
Connect the points, remove some connections and when we relax the mesh...

Funny finding with Blender and contractile and non-contractile networks.
I distribute random points and connect them by distance with Higgsas GN pack set (higgsas.gumroad.com/l/wrusot?lay...).

What is your computer background image?
I used to put my last visualization. I just changed it for a picture of Walt Disney. Everyday when I open the computer he will look at me and remind me to work more "on the business" and less "in the business".

Never ever forget to test your colors!
I love Japanese crimson red from its flag. Unfortunately, color blind people see it as olive green.
Also, when working on #paperfigures, aim for different levels between the elements.

"An image is worth 1000 words". What matters is where do those "words" come from.
I'm working on a Collagen IV model. Google AI told me the length of the helical part of collagen is 70nm. I checked the publications and it is actually around 360nm!

We only know part of the structure of these proteins!
As illustrator I made a more or less educated guess of how they may form a whole structure and how they may actually attach to the microtubule.
Below there are 2 educated guesses. Which one do you think is more right?
