3D CATH LAB SCENE
Our 3D cath lab scene was originally built for rendering system called VRAY. For our Steradian animation we have upgraded to a materials system created by NVIDIA called IRAY that is more efficient. To use the IRAY system required removing every surface property of the original scene to replace with IRAY materials. BELOW is a test render of the new cath lab scene we will be using for our animation:

3D MODELING TASKS
We are modeling additions to the cath lab scene to match our storyboard. We've created and installed a ceiling-mounted MAVIG radiation shield based on information we obtained from the manufacturer's site. (See test renders to the RIGHT.)
Our shield is fully animatable so we will be able to position it during our animated sequence to demonstrate its tendency to gap between patient and shield, thereby exposing staff to scatter radiation. BELOW is a quick test render showing the positioning of the MAVIG shield:

PERSONAL SHIELDING
We are building the physician aprons with thyroid collar shields for our surgeon and extender as seen RIGHT. We want to incorporate as much realism as possible so we are using true simulated material properties to make sure the shielding folds and moves realistically. BELOW are tests using two of our 3D physician models:

TASKS THIS COMING WEEK
We expect to complete the modeling for the cath lab this coming week. As mentioned above, we're creating below-waist table shielding using photographic references and we'll be creating our scrub nurse to complete our 3D personnel. The current C-arm machine was not designed to animate so we are converting it appropriately. We've added the pivot joints and only need to convert the hosing to be flexible to complete this task. We'll be adding our patient with sheets and the traditional radiation pads so we can set up our initial camera position tests.
