For a bit of maybe context, she was a paleontologist...but

Friend of mine from university was always ready to scoop up roadkill into her trunk when she passed it by so that she could render it down to the bones so she would have a skeleton to study/draw.

Was your friend's last name dahner?

Biologist in university here....I know a person who has a dedicated garage freezer to store their roadkill and animal samples for dissection. That's...that's supposed to be the garage fridge filled with sodas for a tactical gaming refresh for the kids, no!

How did she do the rendering?

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly never asked. I presumed she just boiled off the flesh and then left the bones out in the sun to dry.

depends on what you use, I recommend blender, it's free and open source. when plenty of tutorials

Do you say "will it rend? That's the question" everytime you use Blender?

you gotta say "its rending time" before rending all over the place

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

A blender seems like overkill, there won't be much left to draw.
