I'm new to the visualization field and I need some
advice about how to proceed with a project.
I have a Linux-based 3D simulation that generates time-varying
3D data sets. I'd like to visualize them with some
tool. I'm a very proficient programmer (C, C++, Python,
Lisp, etc), so I don't mind doing some programming
if I have to - in fact I would enjoy it. The data
that we have is in a 3D array of 32-bit floats -
although we can change the data types.
I'd like the ability to have a tool to read in the
data sets (either in one file or in multiple files)
and display them in a window with the ability to
fly through the scene and perhaps even generate
mpeg movies from the session.
A couple of years ago I worked with a group that
was doing this sort of thing with OpenGL Performer.
Is this a suitable tool for this task? Would you
suggest a different tool?
Any help that you guys could provide would be great!
Thanks,
