Make scripted visualizations in blender with python
Scripted visualizations in blender
The goal of this project is to script 3D scientific visualizations using blender.
To achieve this, we aim to bring together blender’s powerful visualization toolkit with Anaconda’s scientific computing and package management capabilities. For example, the code in ./apps/concepts/fourier_signal_composition.py was used to generate the following visualization.
