I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. OK, so he said that it was very well for the victim patient and the medical team. It works only for medium case (for example when the bone around the eyes falls, not as heavy as the video). The forty minutes are win in the intervention cause all the stuff has been made ahead.
    The skull is used to model the panes which will be implemented on the victim to avide to do this during the intervention. The skull is made thanks to the medical picture.
    Hoping this translation will help you :)
