Acrobat 3D
PDFs
View our mini-tutorial! |
• These interactive visualizations are in PDF format and
were generated from Adobe Acrobat 3D, which is a
relatively new program that permits the use of
interactive 3D content in the widely available and
familiar PDF format. • To use these files, you will
need to have an updated version of Acrobat Reader, which can be
downloaded for free! It's worth the time to
download the latest Reader, not just to access the new
3D capability but also simply to have the most current
version of the Reader—it is, after at, the same Reader
used for conventional PDFs, but now with interactive 3D
functionality.
• Each 3D PDF is provided in three files sizes.
Larger files provide more detail but take longer to
download and require a more powerful computer. Smaller
files are blockier but easier to manipulate.
• Clicking on the links below will launch the 3D PDF
in its own window. If you don't have the
most up-to-date Acrobat Reader or it's not set in your
web browser as the default for opening PDFs, then you
might get an error message. Check the
mini-tutorial for help troubleshooting the problem. |

* Note: The braincase of FMNH PR 2100 was rescanned in October
2006 at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, OH, on a GE
LightSpeed Ultra at a slice thickness of 625 microns and using
the Extended Hounsfield option and bow-tie filter. These scan
data are somewhat better that those used for the published
article, and are the data from which the movies and Acrobat 3D
files presented here were made. Likewise, the CT scan data
hosted here are the October 2006 data. The new data fully
support the findings published in the article, but provide
higher resolution and hence better views. |
