Scientific visualization in Blender

I just have to do visualisation of some data from scientific simulation (flowing of fluids) for our dean. I do it in Blender. I have to work with some data for GMSH. It's open source visualiser, but it is limited in several ways. For example, you can't create any nice looking animation ;-). I had to write some python import scripts: msh_import.py and pos_import.py. I'm able to import geometry, materials and scalar/vector data from simulation now.

TV antena

I would like to give a notice, than Lukáš Bílek, young and talented student, received special award at Animofest 2006 for his short animation called TV antena. Of course, this animation was created in Blender.
