Archeological animators?

[ockham]

A random question, just curious. My paid work is educational animation, using Poser to build and animate neurons and vocal folds and such. I've used the Hivewire cat skeleton to illustrate the difference between human skulls and quadruped skulls.

Are there any archeological animators? Have you heard of anyone using your figures and skeletons to model things like this?

If they exist, seems like it might be a marketing niche.

I think Sparky did bones for the HiveWire horse. Other than that Chris is working on a human skeleton.

What do archeological animator animate?

Well, I'm not sure what they would do. I'd guess they might work for museums, building the digital version of those 'dioramas' that used to be made of wood and papier-mache. Or trying to envision how a tool or pot was actually used, or how a ritual was performed?

She did for the Big Cat, the horse is more of a zombie horse (skeletal head but with skin over the bones for the rest (She has done the same for the Big Cat and Dog as well but only the BC has an actual skeleton)
