Congratulations on completing 10,000 cells in Eyewire II! I made some graphics to visualize the amazing progress!

Here is an animation celebrating your contributions: https://youtu.be/nzNokdKlVPI

Every dot is one cell, drawn at the position of its soma in the electron microscopy volume. Cells light up on the day a player finished checking them, from the first on April 30th, 2026 to the 10,081st on October 3. 10k cells in just 154 days! When the 10,000th cell lands, a wave crosses the field.

For science!

Thanks! I made it with Claude, but I think chatGPT can also do it. They can use Blender! I put up a render guide page here: https://amyleesterling.github.io/render/examples/

AMAZING. I’ve barely been a part of this particular journey but I’m so proud of all the hard work and progress you’ve done!
