Looking for skull reference
polycounter lvl 11
Anyone knows of any good skull references?
Here's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for pictures of a real skull. Not an artist's rendition or a replica. And from as many angles as possible.
Of course I tried the regular googling and image-searching, but didn't really find much. Usually you find a shot from the front. Sometimes you get a side view. But that's about it. I'm trying to find different views from different angles. And it's surprisingly hard to find. I was surprised that even 3d.sk didn't have anything on it (although they did have various animal skulls).

That one 3d scan of a skull is really interesting. I went to their site and they let you download a 3d pdf of it, which is super cool. I wish it was an obj, but still, it's pretty awesome reference. As close as it gets to an actual skull without having one.
(Not that I didn't think about getting a real one... but a good one is like $1k on ebay)
"acidentally" get hit by car so you need mrt scan
doctor scans your head -> voxel model
ask im if he could save the model on your stick
wait few monts to let the damage made by the car "acident" heal;
find software to open the file
look at your own brains and skull and stuff

The problem with using 3D models, or photos is that I find my brain has to translate and compensate for the focal view.
