  12. The Visualization Pipeline - Hardware Field instruments Scientists/programmers  Supercomputers  Graphics machines  Publications, movies/DVDs, web Demos, educational software Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  13. The Visualization Pipeline - Software Data acquisition and preparation  Sci-vis tools  Geometric Representation Rendering  Post-processing Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  14. Many possible workflows Data Matlab VTK OpenGL Maya IDL Paraview OSG Photoshop Gnuplot DAFFIE Performer Premier Xmgrace Excel Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  15. Example using IDL Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  16. Your Project Describe your work in visual / geometric way? What is goal, e.g., web, publication, presentation? What is the time line? How much learning time can you invest? How much do you expect to use? Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  17. Example workflow – molecular dynamics • Simulation creates data files • Molecule x,y,z + type •  colored spheres (C program) • Electron density as volume data •  isosurfaces (IDL)  .obj files • Rendered in Maya Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008

  18. Example workflow –pressure on turbine • Simulation run on supercomputer • Producedmany Plot3d files • C code transforms data to .obj files • Rendered in Maya • Processed using Imagemagick for DVD Wall movies Visualization with SCV – Dec 2008
