![]() VTKNodes is not completed yet, but the work done so far is very promising.Īt this moment we provided nodes for 741 classes out of 900. Therefore I hope that VTKNodes may be helpful in creating new visualization-applications entirely within Blender.įigure 1: An a simple example of a VTKNodes network that loads a CTScan data, extract two different Isosurfaces, and transform them to a Blender mesh. ![]() Beside my personal interest, VTK is lacking by design any editing tools, in the past people using VTK were implementing custom editing tools, but recently I saw an increasing number of people preferring to move their data in and out Blender to use the tools that Blender provides. My personal interest in using VTK from the Blender user interface is aimed at prototyp ing VTK visualization networks and also to ease teaching and learning VTK. In VTK the process of reading/ transform/display data is accomplished by instantiating and connectingĪmong them a series of reader/filters/actors so it naturally fits the metaphor provided by the Blender Node Editor, but the implementation of a VTKNodes addon for Blender was not feasible until last year, when Kitwareįinally provided the VTK bindings for Python3.x. Some e xample of Scientific Visualizations done with VTK: VTK is developedīy Kitware, which is also the author of CMake, the build configurator used by Blender.ģDSlicer and Paraview ( ) are some of the open source applications built on top of VTK. The Visualization Toolkit (VTK ) is an open source library for scientific visualization widelyĪdopted by researcher in fields such as geo-physics, fluid dynamic and biomedicine. VTKNodes is a Blender Addon providing the possibility to use VTK within Blender VtkNodes: Using the Visualization Toolkit inside BlenderĪuthors: Silvano Imboden, Paul McManus, Lorenzo Celli
