A 3D-rotational modeling approach used to estimate the light-blocking effect of microalgae. Rotation and tilting of a shape-realistic 3D model of Ceratium furcoides (Levander) Langhans in a virtual environment created using Blender, illustrating changes in projected area. (a) Schematic view of the model with rotation axes indicated (x-axis: blue, y-axis: red), (b) rotation around the x-axis, (c) tilting along the y-axis, (d) combined rotation and tilt, and (e) resulting projected area. The black silhouettes represent shadow projections for each transformation.
