Reconstructing Isotelus Rex, Brian White
Reconstructing Isotelus Rex, Brian White
Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry
Isotelus rex is the largest trilobite currently known at over 720 mm in length, and by extension is one of the largest arthropods known.

This is partially due to its scant visual database, with barely any artistic restorations to help represent its life appearance. In order to rectify this, a digital reconstruction of Isotelus rex is produced utilizing programs such as Blender and Zbrush. The final result of the work is a fully animated restoration of the trilobite, bolstering its visual database …
