Rather than simply looking at a book or sculpture, L’Ecorché is an invaluable, portable tool that allows users to use such features as: tumble and zoom the full model and head, torso arm and leg segments from 360 degree angles switch to an updated version with anatomical corrections toggle an informational overlay which reveals full muscular map with descriptive text, as well as a primitives version to help the artist better understand the forms at play.L’Ecorché was created using scan data of one of the original Houdon ecorche plasters and is the only true digital copy of the iconic sculpture. L’Ecorché (pronounced leh-kohr-SHAY) is an elegant and painstakingly-detailed fusion of an anatomy reference book with an iconic physical model that takes the best of both and brings them into a whole new medium for learning.
