 The FIC can rapidly provide detailed 3D animations and illustrations at no cost to faculty when used in classroom instruction. FIC visualization services are also available at a reasonable rate for purposes beyond instruction such as grants or promotion of research. Detailed visualizations can help students understand complex subjects and can also demonstrate sophisticated or potentially dangerous experiments.
The FIC furnishes professional graphics and animations for CSE Faculty to use in various media, such as:
 Nanoaxotomy On-A-ChipThe Ben-Yakar Group in ME came to the FIC for 3D illustrations to use in a submission to Nature Methods journal and in an upcoming grant proposal. This illustration is of a Nanofluidic Chip that will aid in the study of nerve regeneration.
Animations for Classroom Instruction in PGE The Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering approached the FIC to create several animations of the drilling process of an oil well. The FIC worked with Dr. Bommer to produce a new animation for his class at no cost to him or his department. The FIC also created a virtual drilling site (http://www.pge.utexas.edu/drilling/) explaining the different kinds of equipment used at a typical site.
