As Matt recently noted, we both have a ton of photos from various expeditions that we’ve never got around to posting — not to mention a ton of specimens that we’ve seen but never got around to working on. Here is one of the most exciting: {.alignnone .size-full .wp-image-14594 loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“14594” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2017/12/31/the-giant-brachiosaur-cervical-of-arches-national-park/2016-05-10-10-39-21-cropped/”

Matt just commented to me: “One thing I am realizing is that I have loads(*) of cleaned-up, ready-to-post photos in old talks, that I’ve never posted.” I too have that experience. The problem is, they tend to be sized for a 1280×960 projector screen, which is not really good enough for modern illustrations.

Here’s a bunch of cool stuff that is either available now or happening soon: {.size-large .wp-image-14542 .aligncenter loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“14542” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2017/11/28/promo-pandemonium-prehistoric-times-mark-hallett-calendar-public-talks-and-norwescon-41/pt-cover-issue-123-fall-2017/” orig-file=“https://svpow.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/pt-cover-issue-123-fall-2017.jpg” orig-size=“1200,1556”

Having benefitted so hugely from 3D models that Heinrich Mallison made for me — most notably, the Xenoposeidon model that is the supplementary data file for the recent preprint — I realised the time has come for me to learn to do this for myself. To that end, I am going to read all the tutorials he’s written on the subject.

Peter Falkingham and Nick Gardner independently put me onto Sketchfab: a website that provides a way to view and navigate 3D models without needing to download any software beyond the browser that you’re already running. So get yourself over to the live Xenoposeidon model!
