3D anatomy software

Question

I would like to find a software to have a restricted 3D view of human body anatomy. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I would like to know if such a thing already exists.

Hopefully, it would:

• Have a filter view to show only skeleton + muscles such as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JE67Wp-zsc (I find the channel very good by the way!)
• Allow body motion so that I can turn the body easily for example or imply a motion of a body member and the related muscles tensions and shapes are adapted accordingly and automatically.
• Allow customization such as muscle highlighting with a different color, annotation etc.
• Target a PC preferably, with Windows or Linux

As far as I know, that's not simple nor automatic to do such a thing. In the free university project of the video, there is no mention of what software has been used. Thus, I would suspect there is no out-of-the-box software to do that, but if you have heard of one, please share!

If that doesn't exist, is there any open-source project I could start from to do that?

Notes:

• I could adapt to a different target if the tool is fine.
• Please feel free to answer even if it is a mobile app (as I said, target is not a hard constraint).

Answer 1

There is an Open Source project that has made a start on exactly what you are looking for within the Blender 3D modelling tool kit.

You can read about the muscle simulator, (so far), here.

Blender itself is:

• Free, Gratis & Open Source & Cross Platform
• Offers full photo-realistic rendering
• Can produce animations & movies
• Has a physics engine and a game engine
• Has multiple simulations engines
• Includes movie editing
• 100s of other features

If nothing else it gives you a good starting point and the possibility of enhancing it with others.

Answer 2

Per your request, the mobile app I referred to is called Essential Anatomy 3 by 3D4Medical.com, LLC.

It’s highly rated (4.3/5.0 on Amazon), inexpensive ($10 US) and provides these features…

• New 3D technology via 3D4Medical's latest graphics engine

• Over 4,000 highly detailed anatomical structures

• Multiple Selection Mode. Hide/Fade/Isolate individual or multiple structures

• Preset and customizable Bookmarks

• Correct audio pronunciation for every structure

• Latin nomenclature for each anatomical structure

• User friendly and intuitive interface

• Multiple search options

• Dynamic quiz function - Drag and Drop and Multi-choice

• Custom search modes

• Extensive social media tools and sharing capability

It includes the anatomy for these systems...

• Skeletal

• Muscles

• Connective Tissue

• Veins

• Arteries

• Nerves

• Respiratory

• Digestive

• Urinary

• Lymphatic

• also includes the Brain and Heart

I use the mobile version, but, after a bit more research, I found that it’s available on multiple platforms.
