hepatitis c virus max - Hepatitis C Virus by MichaelTaylor3D

This is a 3d Hepatitis C Virus in HIGH DEFINITION!

This represents the next generation of 3D Viral Representation. This model is meant for those looking for Hybrid quality medical models and need to take the quality of their visualization to the next level.

This model was built using quads. It utilizes a displacement map for added detail.

The virus is also shaded with procedural materials to allow infinite resolution no matter how close up you zoom into the model. It uses sub-surface scattering to achieve an organic look.

The model was built using quads, with efficiency in mind during the modeling process. It is designed to have the maximum detail with the least amount of polys needed to keep that shape. This is especially important to keep in mind if your are adding this model to a large scene with lots of objects. Using this model over others may help maintain system performance.

Using this model can help created realistic and high definition renderings to convey research or information to a 3rd party for informative or promotional means.

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection is often asymptomatic, but once established, chronic infection can progress to scarring of the liver (fibrosis), and advanced scarring (cirrhosis) which is generally apparent after many years. In some cases, those with cirrhosis will go on to develop liver failure or other complications of cirrhosis, including liver cancer or life threatening esophageal varices and gastric varices.

The hepatitis C virus is spread by blood-to-blood contact. Most people have few, if any symptoms after the initial infection, yet the virus persists in the liver in about 85% of those infected. Persistent infection can be treated with medication, peginterferon and ribavirin being the standard-of-care therapy. 51% are cured overall. Those who develop cirrhosis or liver cancer may require a liver transplant, and the virus universally recurs after transplantation.
