Model 57B - Flying Gecko - Mesh Only

This is a mesh animation of a flying gecko (Ptychozoon kuhli) photo-captured with the Beastcam MACRO from a live gecko in the Irschick lab at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Mass is 13.8 grams. CGI artist Johnson Martin retopologized and reconstructed the gecko from images captured with the Canon G16 cameras and other images primarily using Open-source tools such as Blender. We partnered with Cameron Siler from the University of Oklahoma and Tony Gamble from Marquette University to create this model, which they will use for testing models of gliding in geckos. Creation of this model was supported by NSF grant 1657662. Downloads are freely available for creative and non-profit use. To inquire about licensing, please visit www.digitallife3d.org
