Heart for VR
Anatomical Sculpt (2021): 3D human heart modelled for VR surgical training in a catheter ablation procedure used by the client (medical device company) and surgeons in training. The client requested the left atrium be exposed. It was also used in an AR marketing campaign.
Created for: Osso VR as part of the Organic Art Team. Art direction by Jonathan Sabella.
Media: Zbrush (sculpt), Marmoset (topology projection), Maya (modelling and UVs), Substance Painter (texturing), and Unity (look dev)
Marketing Use (Created by other teams at Osso VR referencing the Heart Model)
The heart model was also used in an AR Instagram marketing campaign, and used in marketing videos on social media and at conferences.

Process Work
Research
For this project, I conducted multiple rounds of consultations with our cardiac surgeon SMEs. I also conducted extensive research using academic and medical publications. For texture reference, I dissected an animal heart and took photos.
Sculpting
3D sculpting was done in Zbrush. The client requested the left atrium be exposed for this project.
Final 3D Model
The final model was optimized for VR, and final look dev was done in Unity.
