Morphospaces

TraitBlender currently includes three morphospaces:

• Shell (Default) – a 3D shell model based on Contreras-Figueroa & Aragón (2023)
• Circle Grid – a white cube with a 4×4 grid of black circles on top
• ATLAS – PCA + local RBF deformation of a template mesh from an ATLAS DATABASE export

Each morphospace has a name (e.g. "Shell (Default)", "Circle Grid", "ATLAS") used in the GUI and in config files, and:

• traits – columns in the dataset (per-specimen values)
• hyperparameters – extra settings that affect how the model is generated (set in the Configuration panel)
