Lymphatic Filariasis

This animation was created in 2003, while I was a Masters

student in Biomedical Communications at the University of

Toronto. It visualizes the entry of parasitic filarial worms into the

skin through a mosquito bite, and their journey into the body. The

intention of this animation was rather to be a creative and

technical exercise in a 3D programming environment I was just

learning, than it was to elucidate any details of lymphatic

filariasis. I used this first project to experiment with textures,

lighting, and camera animation.
