Exercise & the Gut Microbiota

Project Details

  • Artist(s):  Veronica Zoeckler; Lakewood, Colorado
  • Client: Jarrad Marcell, MSc
  • Copyright: © 2018 Veronica Zoeckler
  • Medium / software used: Autodesk 3ds Max, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop
  • Final presentation format: Powerpoint Animation
  • Primary audience: Microbiologists & Exercise Scientists

Project Description

The audience for this animation included both microbiome researchers and exercise scientists. The intent was to define the microbiome and a basic understanding of how physical activity may affect gut microbiota. The most important information was the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria found in athletes. Modeling and animation was completed in 3ds Max and rendered with Arnold.
