Interactive - Fetal Lung Development
Year
2024
Media
ZBrush, Unity
Description
This interactive shows the stages of lung development and allows the user to click through important stages. Each stage has a description of the important milestones, and the user will be able to look at a model of the stage.
This project is best viewed in Firefox or Chrome. I’ve noticed some shader issues if you are using Safari.
I am happy to share the source files and Unity project with any medical illustrator that would like to see how I set up this scene! Reach out to me.
Try the interactive on itch.io! Chrome or Firefox preferred.

I modelled each lung stage in ZBrush. Since I wanted to present a very simple-looking interactive, I avoided too much detail or texturing in ZBrush for the majority of the models. The only ones textured in ZBrush were the stages showing alveolar development.
I brought each stage into Unity, and managed most of the textures there. The interactively was mainly C#. The lighting was an HDRI, which I found enjoyable because it looked like the lungs were sitting on a couch when I was in edit mode.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about coding and Unity project set up!
