Prehistoric and Paleo Model Collection

[sgraber]

I think a number of you know that one of the things I like printing and displaying at events are prehistoric and paleolithic models.  Recently, I decided to consolidate all of the models into my Google Drive so I could have access to them when I'm out and about.  To that end, I thought I'd share the link with the Hive group:

Right now, only about a dozen models are there.  Tonight, however, I will be uploading my entire 6.1 GB collection for anyone to use (about 150 models roughly).  The bulk of these are licensed CC-SA-NC, so please treat them as such.  I have pretty much every model I could find from the standard Saber-Toothed Cat to the latest Homo naledi skeleton (a new species of an extinct early human ancestor) that was just recently discovered by the Rising Star expedition team near Johannesburg, South Africa.

For those that haven't seen it, here's the life-sized Smilodon fatalis saber-toothed cat I printed and displayed at last year's event. This skull measures ~14 inches from back to front:

Awesome, Thanks for sharing.

Also: I just learned how to work with CT scan DICOM files, so there's a whole host of models to add after conversion.

Ok, all the models I currently have are up there. Have at it.

EDIT:  I've started uploading DICOM CT models and I've now found a way to convert CT movies to STL using: arc-team-open-research.blogspot.com/2012/09/converting-video-of-computed-tomography.html
