3D Dataviz Project
Abstract:
The data visualization is mainly based on 2D representations. However, there are datasets that offer a 3D representation, with which you can explore the data in perhaps more understandable ways. The areas to which this type of visualization extends include sports, medicine, development, urban planning, meteorology, traffic, aviation, etc...

Target:
The goal of the project is to create a system capable of representing a 3D visualization of a data set. This process includes different tasks that will be implemented progressively, identifying possible needs.
Features:
data import
data conversion
geo-coordinated
resizing
configuration of the space or context
axis
guides
labels
light
configuration
materials
initial
dynamics
creation of elements
geometrical shapes
shapes from vectors (maps)
variable material allocation
parameter-value elements
export in an interactive viewer
Development:
The tool created is based on Blender as a visualization program and the Api it offers for the use of the functions through Python. In the project an example is created that implements the mentioned features, adding functions and classes to the own created libraries.
In each example a blender file, a data set and the rendered images are created with the results.
All the material created is in the Git repository:
