Examples
Five end-to-end walkthroughs, from raw data to a finished 3D visualization, each reproducing a figure or workflow from the SciGraphs paper. If you want a single panel explained control by control instead, use the Tutorials or the Panel Reference.
| # | Example | You will learn |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A combinatorial graph from a file | Import an edge list, lay it out, compute centrality and communities, and render. |
| 2 | A geospatial flow map on a globe | Geocode nodes, project onto a 3D globe, and draw geodesic arcs. |
| 3 | An urban network on terrain | Download a street network with OSMnx, drape it onto DEM terrain, and add an amenity proximity graph. |
| 4 | A sparse matrix from SuiteSparse | Import a benchmark matrix, lay it out, and color by eigenvector centrality. |
| 5 | A reproducible pipeline | Capture a whole workflow in a declarative file, replay it with provenance, and drag a ready-to-run specification into Blender. |
Before you begin
- Install and enable SciGraphs (see Installation).
- Open the 3D Viewport sidebar with
Nand locate the SciGraphs, OSMnx, and City2Graph tabs. - For the geospatial examples, Blender needs internet access.
