Creating animation from 3D visualizations
Changing colorbar and color range
Changing colorbar and color range
- There are variety of colorbars available in ParaView such as jet, Rainbow, Cold and Hot, Cool to Warm, etc.
- Choosing a suitable colorbar for your visualization is mostly field dependent and also depends on your sense of artistic and visualization.
- Changing color range would help you to visualize the data in the most important range based on your specific application:

Volume Rendering Engine and Ray Traced Rendering by Using OSPRay:
Volume Rendering Engine and Ray Traced Rendering by Using OSPRay:
- Volume rendering can be done by using CPU (super slow) or GPU (super fast based on your GPU type).
- Structured grid renderings are much more faster in comparison to unstructured grids (Solution for unstructured grids: Image Re-sampling)
- Enabling the ray tracing increase the quality of your 3D rendering: OSPRay
Surface Rendering and Effect of Ray Tracing Based on OSPRay on Quality of the Images
Surface Rendering and Effect of Ray Tracing Based on OSPRay on Quality of the Images
- Intel OSPRay engine developed based on utilizing the CPU gives a high quality 3D rendering with higher computational cost in comparison to GPU rendering.
defining camera configuration:
defining camera configuration:
- Camera configuration could be defined and saved for later use if you want to take a snapshot from your visualization with the exact same configuration of the camera later
Taking High Quality Screenshot in PAraView:
Taking High Quality Screenshot in PAraView:
- Defining image resolution as pixels.
- If you want, you can make the background transparent.
- The compression level controls the quality of the image. Lower level of compression -----> High image quality.
Animation View toolbar:
Animation View toolbar:
- To define the camera movement for static datasets and create animation from them.
- Camera could follow a path or orbit based on defined origin, normal, and center point.
- Also, it could control the frames of your animation by changing the camera position based on user defined path or orbiting modes.
Creating high quality animation in ParaView:
Creating high quality animation in ParaView:
- Define image resolution as pixels
- Transparent background for the animation (good for gif format)
- Compression level for image quality that would be converted to the animation
- Define frame rate and frame ranges
