Mad Scientist Lab Survey: Part One.
The brain-in-the-jar has been a staple of science fiction since the 1920s and probably earlier. This blog post is a survey of the 3d content assets available in this line for DAZ Studio or Poser and elsewhere. It’s the first of an occasional survey of the contents needed for a ‘mad scientist lab’.
The DAZ 3D Brain Model, complete with shelf jar, is an obvious first stop…
The AntFarm on the DAZ Store has this Dr. Mason package…
A contemporary update on the theme, the Memory Storage Device…
The Cargobots And Containers set could also be adapted, with transparent materials.
Need something bigger? Coflek-Gnorg’s Sci-Fi Chambers Megapack should do the job for your giant talking brain scenes…
Runtime DNA has the RDNA Psiberion Vol 1 for Michael 2… Was at the RuntimeDNA store, but since its closure the model now appears to be lost.
Also worth a mention is that iClone users have this fully animatable Cyborg Librarian head…
There were also a couple of ‘alien brain in tank’ Poser models I remember from way back, but they seem to have vanished from the Web.
Update, Oct 2013: Think Tank.
Updated: added the Memory Storage Device and Dr. Mason.
