A special color coded texture mapping technique has been developed to enhance visual perception and didactic value of our anatomical education software. The new technique results in a more realistic and less synthetic appearance of the muscular surfaces of the 3D model.

While the nature of the 3D views rendered with color texture is more informative and is more comparable to well worked out anatomical illustrations, quick perception of closely neighbored structures is achieved through color shift for neighbored muscles. The color texturing process depends on the actually displayed model and is full-automatically applied.

Color texture has been implemented in a recent update of 3D Muscles Teacher. The update is free for all users who have purchased the full version. See more color texture images at 3D Muscles Teacher.
