Anatomy Studying Tool

Hi all,
In this thread I'd like to document my process for developing an anatomy studying tool. I've been taking Scott Eaton's 'Anatomy for Artists' course and the knowledge he is sharing is in depth and sometimes hard to nail down on the first watch through. I'd like to hammer in the anatomy of the skeleton, muscle and integumentary system into my brain. I believe building this app will help do so. Whats better is that I will have a means of studying these systems and various artist related content once completed (e.g. proportions, bony landmarks, fatty tissue)
I believe I have a good anatomy foundation to begin this project and a decent understanding of c# in Unity. I'm not intending for this to be the ne plus ultra anatomy model (that's what scans are for), more so a way of leveling up my eye for anatomy.
First I'd like to focus on the Skeletal system, for that's the foundation of the body and what holds us together. Lets kick it off with the skull, which is the basis of nailing down the proportions for the rest of the body
A fun little comp I did in marmoset

While the effort to make an app is commendable, I would just use Anatronica which already has everything you've planned.
I'm doing this to help me grow as an artist and programmer. By building all the bones and muscle insertions myself I'll be learning way more than using an already made app.
Hey @carvuliero I'm excited, oh and Scott Eaton really knows his stuff! I had a peak at your 'Learn to see' thread. You've got some fantastic exercises. The spot the difference, gesture sculpts, and mass conception work is great! I'd like to do those sometime.
I agree @BIGTIMEMASTER (: I'm already learning a ton!
I just thought to share that program with you, if you'd like a closer look at the anatomy in that app which could assist with what you plan to make yourself!
Following your progress!
Resources
I'm using John Hartman's anatomical position skeleton piece for my primary reference for the proportions. The two other resources making up for most of my reference is the book 'Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist' by Stephen Rogers Peck which provides extensive detail of Bones, Muscles, Surface anatomy and other various anatomical content. And we've got the Sketchfab model viewer where I've been referencing CT scanned bones.
@NikhilR Thank you, I appreciate the app info. I may use that for some inspiration as I begin to develop my tool in Unity!
@carvuliero Yeah, the anatomical position setup is great for seeing how certain bones are aligned. It has helped me immensely.
