Visualize astrophysics data with Blender

0

Jason van Gumster interviews Jill Naiman from Astroblend about her use of Blender for astrophysical research.

Jason writes:

The Blender Conference has become a fantastic showcase not just of attractive art and animation, but also unconventional uses of Blender and open source software.

Dr. Jill Naiman, AstroblendOne of the talks that really caught my eye this year was Dr. Jill Naiman's about her Astroblend project. In short, she's created an add-on for Blender that helps visualize and analyze astrophysical simulations and data. She talked about using Blender on data snapshots that weigh in at 15-25TB.

Jill is also a bit of a maker, focusing on "blinkie things" and wearable technology. Her slides are available on the Astroblend website and animated videos produced with Astroblend can be found on the Astroblend YouTube channel.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
