Hello.
A year ago I made available a freeware package Bodies3D.
The purpose of the software is to represent bodies (of humans and of
animals) as stick figures in a 3D space.
One use of the program (originally developed for forensic mapping) is to
examine the pattern of distribution of bodies in mass graves. For
example by rotating the bodies to a sideways view of a grave, it may be
possible to discern partially separated heaps of bodies dumped by trucks.
The package can be downloaded by visiting the Smithsonian web page at
http://osteoware.si.edu/forum/osteoware-communityannouncements/bodies3d-richard-wright-0
The original notes briefly described how features other than relatively
complete bodies could be added to the rotatable files. However on
reflection I don't think that description was adequate.
I have therefore attached improved notes to the downloadable package.
These notes describe in greater detail how to add body parts, lines
marking a grave boundary, and artefacts such as bullets. The software
itself is unaltered.
Regards,
Richard Wright
