Giant isopod, accession 93.16

RISD Nature Lab’s giant-isopod scan adds a different body plan to Biology. Inspect the segmented exterior and appendages as a preserved surface study, without treating source chunks as separate anatomical dissections.

Evidence & model coverage

497,750 web triangles; 24 supplied geometry groups before runtime flattening. Generic mesh chunks are not physical components.

Changes: Texture cap 512px (JPEG 85 for opaque images, PNG for transparency); duplicate/unused data removed; welded vertices; error-bounded simplification (0.001 relative tolerance; borders may change); Draco encoding; supplied mesh-bearing nodes retained.

Bathynomus giganteus specimen, Artec Spider scan. Thin legs and antennae are optimization-sensitive; the source is surface geometry, not an articulated or internally segmented animal.
