Create Stunning 2D Data Visualisations in Blender, Easily

This video is a quick review of different ideas for scientific data visualisation in blender using a material as controller. Learn how to change colour gradients, create controllable effects, apply vertical displacement to a surface, render your data as a volume, and combine layers, in 3 minutes!

Very helpful video with so many possibilities !! Can’t wait to try it

[@ClickbaitScience]

Thank you! Means a lot coming from a skilled data scientist

[@michaelrcolton]

Daaaaang, very cool tricks to file away for later when I need them.

[@ClickbaitScience]

Thank you!! I strive to bring you more of them in the future:)

So cool! Would love videos on transforming data into images and videos with matplotlib, etc.

[@amin_ankward]

Love the idea !

[@ailisnelis2383]

well done!

[@nointro3477]

this is crazy

Please let me know, how can we create those 2D Data Video clips?

[@ClickbaitScience]

I have them from my simulation work. But If I wanted to create them, I would load my data into a python script and make use matplotlib.animation package to convert it to video. I actually ask chatgpt/gemini to write the script for me most of the time it does work well.
