🦴 Skeleton 3D model MEGA LIST - Free! Links galore! 🦴

All these animal anatomy studies got me looking for free bones on the internet. Did you know that many museums and institutions have uploaded scans of their collections on Sketchfab? Further, did you know many of them can be downloaded for free? I’ve assembled an extensive list below of some Sketchfab galleries that have lots of great references.

Interestingly, there are a myriad of skulls to be found but whole skeletons are a little more rare. I sorted these based on whether the galleries had whole skeletons and whether the models could be downloaded. I threw in a few notable shops too since you can view the models in the browser-based viewer for free.

Whole Skeletons: Downloadable 3D models

Idaho Virtualization Laboratory: Absolutely massive collection featuring hundreds of individual bones. Check out the Complete Skeleton collection or the Modern Osteology collection for lots of craniums and skulls.

Natural History Museum Vienna: a good selection of full skeletons plus scanned specimens.

The University of Edinburgh: This collection is on the small side, but has a few interesting, complete skeletons to look at.

Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona A huge collection with an assortment of skulls and skeletons.

Mammal Research Institute: many skulls with the occasional whole skeleton.

Auckland Museum: Someone went to incredible lengths to document every single bone of the Moa bird. Scroll down for an assembled skeleton and a scattering of scanned taxidermy animals.

Whole Skeletons: Not downloadable 3D models

Biodiversity: absolutely massive collection of skulls with tons of rodents and a unique focus on dentition. There are complete skeletons mixed throughout.

Nebraska Public Media: Skulls with a smattering of complete skeletons.

Blackburn Lab: Lots of great stuff in this one: complete skeletons, comparative anatomy, some soft tissue anatomy, and of course lots of skulls.

Aquarium-Museum of Liège: A small collection of skeletons.

Artist-Joana Maria: Antlers and a few full skeletons of extinct animals.

Museum of Natural History: A moderately sized but nice collection of complete dinosaur skeletons!

Whole Skeletons: For Sale

Animals & Pets 3D Models: This is one of the largest selections of complete skeletons on Sketchfab. The only caveat is I’m not sure how scientifically accurate they are.

Puppy3D: While this gallery is mostly animals for sale, there are some unique skeletons scattered in there. It’s also nice having animal bodies to reference.

3D Big Game : Mostly scanned specimens, but a good resource for comparing antlers and horns. Downloadable for pay.

Artist-Yacine Brinis: This person mostly sells model packs, but they do have some nice skull packs as well as a couple complete skeletons.

Skulls: Downloadable

Witmer Lab at Ohio University: This collection emphasizes bird, reptile, and dinosaur skulls with some interesting anatomy such as brains and vascular systems included.

Natural History Museum Imaging: this one has a lot of individual bones and fossil scans to sift through, but it features an interesting assortment of whale craniums.

RISD Nature Lab: an incredible assortment of hundreds of scanned specimens ranging from seashells, taxidermized specimens, and of course lots of skulls.

Museum of the University of Valencia of Natural History: Lots of fossils, lichens, and shells with a scattering of interesting skulls. Check out the collection section for vertebrate skulls, bird skulls and early hominid apes.

University of Dundee Museum Collections: Mostly skulls with a few scanned specimens and some invertebrate models.

University of Wyoming Libraries: A massive gallery with skulls and many bone fragments. The Museum of Vertebrates collection is going to be your best bet.

Professor - Eric Bauer: A smaller collection of a few skulls and individual bones, but they are high quality.

Paleontology Lab at the Université de Liege: A nice selection of both extinct and extant animal skulls.

Skulls: not downloadable

California Academy of Sciences: So. Many. Skulls. Be sure to explore their collections for easier browsing!

Holliday Lab: Incredibly detailed views of reptile and avian facial anatomy.

Evans EvoMorph Lab: this collection has an emphasis on skulls, but what makes it notable is that many of the models have animated articulation.

Veterinarian Anatomy Munich: Ever wonder what the second premolar of a pig looks like? This resource is for you! While it emphasizes individual bones, they have been sorted into collections for easier viewing. Please note that this gallery features scans of preserved soft tissues such as muscles and organs. If you’re expecting dry bones, it may be a little shocking.

Oregon State University: In addition to plenty of skulls, there are also many scans of fish. Some models are, in fact, downloadable but they are not sorted into collections so you will need to do a lot of sorting.

Please enjoy this extensive list of bone and bone-adjacent resources. It took an unbelievable amount of time to format this post.

Not to sell CSP, BUT version 3 IS SUCH A BIG IMPROVEMENT. Specifically for the 3D Model aspect. It's so much easier to get precise poses now! And objects connect together now! (this part isn't perfect, but way better than nothing). I'm really happy.

#csp #csp version 3 #3d model posing #3d reference #you really have to love the nuance of it #you can totally live without the new update but its really neat #since I hate going out of one program

I hope the Saw movies never resort to CGI or recasting to de-age a character and instead keep up the cherished tradition of putting them in a backwards baseball cap to indicate that a scene takes place in the past

#I saw someone hate on Chris Rock's hat in Spiral and I was like it's obviously a reference to Saw 3D you ABSOLUTE PHILISTINE #Saw #Sawposting #Spiral

Light World class pic ☀️

Wireframe:

Solid View:

Raw Render (without comp):

Wooo its finally done peeps! At last, here's the Deltarune Light World group render featuring Alphys's whole class! It's sort of a counterpart to my Dark World group render from a couple days ago. I also added some comp to improve the lighting and reused an old bg (some of you might remember which anim that's from hehe).

From left to right: Susie, Kris, Berdly, Noelle, Alphys, Jockington, Temmie, Catti, Monster Kid and Snowy!

These models were a ton of work to make but overall I'm really happy with how this turned out. The only light world model missing here is Rudy... I didn't know how to add him here since this was supposed to be a class pic of sorts, but maybe I'll make a designated render for him one day, since I really like his character even though he doesn't get a lot of screentime in-game. Oh, also first look at Deltarune Alphys!! Since I already made her rig for my Undertale animation, I just had to model her Deltarune clothes and bind em to the rig with an extra switch.

Anyways, feel free to use this as a wallpaper if you want!

Here's a link to the full resolution should the resolution be crushed by Tumblr.

#ultrakill #ultrakill v1 #robots #my art #something came over me #i dont know why i drew them in this pose #im pretty happy with this one though #va proxy has buffed me up with how complex s-105 is #drawing v1 with the 3d model as a reference is kind of a cakewalk now

[friendlyengie]

hey do you guys want some references. Because brother I have some fucking references for you.

#You have no IDEA how many times I clicked through the comics. #if I were a worse off person it might’ve driven me insane but luckily I have adhd so this has just been like a type of therapy to me #tf2 #tf2 reference #Long post #Engie is the only one here with references pulled from multiple comics because of how little he pops up in the official series #And he is also the one whose canon art I purposefully ignore the most #he’s like 5’4” in my heart. Forever. #that blank head turn on the 3d model refs was just pulled from an article so. Let me know if I accidentally stole from someone or smth

Inspired by these comics by @zivazivc and this comic by @chongotheartist

This has been chilling in my mind since I first saw ZivaZivcs comic and I finally got the energy to make it XD

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls band together #john dory #creek trolls #the orange troll is actually a deleted troll from the og movie known as Aspen Heitz #he has green hair in 3d and blue in 2d so i mixed the colors to get the hair i used here #any way #also i used chongos comic as like a reference for the posing and stuff #and like this is what it looks like in the comic but when put into trolls #it lind of looks like Aspen is like comforting his boyfriend creek #and i did not intend for that i just noticed it while coloring and i was like welp #and did not fix it #maybe im just overthinking it #it may just be the closeness due to troll proportions #also the holding hands on the shoulder #but it was in the og so its here too #also i love the scary jd render #whyd they make him so scary ill never know but man does it make for good comedy #i was orginally gonna draw jd too but then when i sketched him he just looked like the render and i was like you know what- #i also thought of using a fake png but that qas too much #so you get real png jd

3D Room Builder

Faster and easier in my opinion than sketchup!

Can easily pan the camera and practice perspective and all of that :)

Oh god I'm so absolutely exhausted, I can't even see straight anymore kgngjffb

On the bright side, even though I didn't draw anything, I completed a 3d model for the location of the next animated episode. So in a way, the creative karma was kept up to par👍

#for the context 👆 #yes #our backgrounds are 2d but we still need 3d as a draft/reference/size consistency #and no I'm not good at 3d haha #I'm just...pretty determined
