Overview Bender is a free, open source software for repositioning voxelized anatomical models. It applies the rigging, skinning and posing technique to volumes by providing an additional step to resample the volume: Rigging: Specify the skeleton ("rig" or also "armature") that represents the linear sections and joints of the body, by which the body will be re-positioned. Skinning: Associate the volume voxels associated with each section of the skeleton. Posing: Animate the rigging by bending and rotating the joints to define the target repositioning of the body. Resampling: Resample the bones, soft tissues, and skin of the voxelized model onto the repositioned rigging to create a new voxelized model. 3D labelmap Rigging Skinning Posing Repositioning News 2013/04/05 2 new videos: Bender 1.0 preview and Bender 1.0 tutorial 2013/03/01 Bender 1.0 is out !
