Interdisciplinary 3D animation workflow for scientifically accurate palaeoart of Sri Lankan Quaternary megafauna
By
Jason Kennedy and Aravinda Ravibhanu Sumanarathna
Summary
This academic study examines the use of 3D animation workflows to create scientifically credible palaeoart of extinct Quaternary megafauna from Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa Basin. Authored by Jason Kennedy and Aravinda Ravibhanu Sumanarathna, the paper presents an interdisciplinary approach combining paleontology, 3D animation design, and scientific visualization to reconstruct prehistoric animals. Published in the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology journal, the research focuses on developing rigorous methodologies for scientifically accurate visual reconstructions of extinct species.
