Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the Visible Body 3D platform, particularly its application in exploring swine anatomy. Participants share their thoughts on the platform's features, potential uses, and personal experiences related to animal anatomy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express enthusiasm about the Visible Body 3D platform, noting its impressive collection of animations and illustrations.
  • There are mentions of subscription costs for individual, business, and educational use, with some uncertainty about the functionality available without a subscription.
  • One participant shares personal experiences related to visualizing human anatomy through the slaughtering of hogs and deer, suggesting that pigs serve as close analogues for human anatomy.
  • A humorous suggestion is made for a follow-up product focused on swine anatomy, though another participant questions the practicality of such a resource for butchers.
  • Participants reflect on their family traditions and experiences related to the slaughtering process, adding a personal narrative to the discussion.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of the Visible Body 3D platform and its potential applications, but there are differing views on the necessity and practicality of a swine anatomy resource. The discussion remains informal and exploratory without a clear consensus on specific applications or features.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the full functionality of the platform without a subscription, and there are personal anecdotes that may not represent broader experiences with the product.

Lisa,

Glad you approve.
Individual Use: $14.95/month or $119.95/year
Business Use: $29.95/month or $239.95/year
Student/Teacher Use: $17.95/one term (5 months) or $35.95/two terms (12 months)
It could be useful for a whole lot of reasons. I haven't played with it extensively, so I can't say if it is really good or not. Maybe someone with some free time on their hands can, and report back. I am guessing you don't get "full functionality" until you subscribe though.

Rhody... :wink:

Andy,

Glad I could direct your attention to something of value, that is what PF is known for.
It was pure luck that I found it. Come to think of it, this happens quite often, at least to me. hehe...

Rhody... :biggrin:
 
Pretty cool, Rhody! When I want to visualize the internals of a human, I have to look back on the hogs and deer that I have slaughtered (or helped slaughter) over the last 50+ years. Pigs are pretty close analogues, actually.

Turbo,

So they need a follow on to this: Visible Body 3D Swine Anatomy...

Rhody... :redface:

Perhaps, but I don't think many butchers are interested in healing the hogs they cut up. In my extended family, slaughtering hogs involved everybody! We made the whole process short and sweet so the meat was cooled, smoked, or made into sausage as quickly as possible. I remember the first time that I was "old enough" to be trusted to lug a wash-pan of blood to the kitchen for the women to boil down with barley, etc, to make blood sausage. Previously, I was allowed to take in pans of small and large intestines for the women-folk to clean and boil to make sausage-casings, but that was a no-brainer. Drop that pan, and you can pick up the intestines and take them to the kitchen. Drop a pan of fresh blood in the driveway, and prepare to suffer the wrath of your mother, your aunts, all your great-aunts... Tragedy! :cry:
