In scientific communications, 3D animations and illustrations are conventionally used to explain fundamental principles and complex concepts to both expert and non-expert people. Here below you can find some examples of my latest 3D animations and illustrations that I have designed for Conference presentations/posters and journal papers. You can find more examples of my designs in BEST Group Youtube Channel.
