Abstract

A digital 3D model of a canine skull was designed to serve as an additional aid, alongside books and other resources and learning material. The available textbooks only provide a 2D view, using photos and illustrations and they often do not display the entire bone and have flawed descriptions. The digital anatomical models currently available are insufficient because they are incompletely marked or some anatomical parts are not visible at all. Furthermore, some of the available digital 3D models are not free of charge and must be paid before usage, or they require a specific operating system on computers and mobile phones. The digital anatomical 3D dog skull model is made of recordings from a CT device. The original model was edited in the computer program Blender. SD Som Pro was used to create bone texture and the anatomical parts were labelled in Final Mesh. The anatomical parts were described according to the official list of anatomical terms listed in Nomina anatomica veterinaria. To fulfill its purpose, the model has been uploaded onto the website of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine University of Zagreb (http://wwwi.vef.hr/3datlas/pas) and is available to students and the interested public.
