Zygote Media Group

Zygote Media Group is a company specializing in 3D human anatomy content and technology. Established in 1994, the company initially focused on creating anatomically accurate 3D human models for the entertainment industry. Over time, Zygote Media Group has transitioned its specialization to the enhanced visualization of human anatomy and life sciences.

The company licenses an extensive library of 3D human anatomy models tailored for various applications, including animation, simulation, rendered illustrations, engineering, and analysis. In addition to this, Zygote Media Group offers specialized services in the development of software and content related to life sciences.

In collaboration with Google, Zygote Media Group played a significant role in the creation of Google Body, a fully interactive 3D anatomical atlas. Following the discontinuation of Google Labs, the product underwent a rebranding and is now known as ZygoteBody. Zygote Media Group continues to provide support for ZygoteBody, offering it as a free service catering to medical professionals, patients, educators, students, and anatomy enthusiasts.

Finite element analysis and computer simulation applications range from examining fluid dynamics within the heart and blood vessels to assessing bone stress under various loading conditions, as well as evaluating vehicle safety systems and facilitating the design and testing of medical products.

In the year 2000, Zygote Media Group spun off its art and hobbyist division, which subsequently evolved into Digital Art Zone—now recognized as Daz 3D.
