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.

  • Hey Jiri,
    I didn't know you were also doing some scientific stuff with blender!
    Why did't you tell me about that at the Blender Sprint in Innsbruck?

    bye

  • Hi,
    yes I do some scientific visualization with Blender. I didn't tell you about that, because I was too busy and I didn't consider it as too interesting. Are your python scripts for visualization available at web? I'm interested in your scripts?

  • Yes, of course they are. But the site is not yet linked. You can find my latest version (yesterday) here: ILEKvisualizer
    You're running Linux, aren't you? So you can't just download my portabel version. You've got to install VTK and download VTKBlender.py.

    I don't have any real volume visualization yet, but Chris Want from the University of Alberta has done some nice stuff with a C-plugin (only for rendering).

    see you

    p.s. what about the results from the Blender Sprint? New design but no content...
