In recent years, the contributions of digital imaging to taxonomy and systematics have made it an important tool for study and teaching in entomology. Through new advances in technology and personal computing power, it is now possible to create effective and useful 3-dimensional models of morphological characters. I will discuss my own use of Pixologic's ZBrush to create high-resolution mesh models that can then be sculpted to add intricate and morphologically significant details. The finished product can then be exported to 3D animation packages, digital presentation programs, interactive World Wide Web pages, and 2-dimensional software packages for print publication. Examples of the usefulness of this technology will be presented, including models of genitalic characters of Rhyacophila (Trichoptera: Rhyacophilidae), as well as an explanation of this new technology and practical applications for its use in entomology.
