Takashi Kawase has released a #linux version of VVDViewer (https://github.com/JaneliaSciComp/VVDViewer), a powerful volume renderer (#scivis, #sciviz) for #fluorescence #microscopy data. To celebrate, here is a video rendered by VVDViewer as driven by the Linux version of neuVid. The input to neuVid is a high-level description of the video, in this case showing four #drosophila lines from the #HHMIJanelia FlyLight Gen1 MCFO collection. The input text is pretty simple...

Prompted by @tess_machling - more messing about with #lidar data from the UK Environment Agency's National LIDAR Programme, this time with renders of the area around #Snettisham, #Norfolk.

Landscape is ... quite flat, so I experimented with lighting and surface shading to accentuate even the most subtle surface details.

Made with GDAL, Photoshop and Modo - it's definitely not a standard lidar pipeline...

Jumbo-sized renders:

#scivis

I'm a fan of using #Blender3D to make videos of scientific data sets (#scivis, #sciviz). Here's a beautiful example, from Brad Krajina of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center: https://bradkrajina.artstation.com/projects/8be03Q

VVDViewer is a powerful, interactive volume renderer (#scivis, #sciviz) for #fluorescence #microscopy data, developed by Takashi Kawase and Hideo Otsuna at #HHMIJanelia. The source code and built executables are available at https://github.com/takashi310/VVD_Viewer. (1/4)

What is the state of the art in #deeplearning for volume rendering of scientific data (#scivis, #sciviz)? There are interesting ideas in this paper by Weiss and Navab, but I feel there is more to do:

#StrokeOfScience

Prompt 3 - Luminous
Jan. 30th - Feb. 12th

I like to use #GlobalIllumination (#PathTracing) for #SciVis (#SciViz) because it creates the cues our visual systems use to perceive 3D shapes. For example, without shadows it is almost impossible to see the bulge in the middle of these SMP neurons from #Drosophila #Neuroscience data. (1/2)

How's Prompt 2 of #StrokeOfScience going so far? Any WIPs to share? I haven't been able to start my own piece yet so I'd love to see other's meanwhile!

Almost 25 years since we knew this happened….so cool to finally visualize the process in atomic detail!

Question for #CompChem #ChemiVerse and #SciVis - I'm curious for visualization tools for atom tensors (e.g. NMR).

Most of what I've seen has been ellipsoids, from the xx, yy, and zz components, but I'm wondering if there are good ways to show more components.
