Welcome!
These pages form the main online content for the two modules of the course Introduction to Scientific Visualization with Blender. In this course you will learn how to use the 3D rendering and animation package Blender for creating images and animations from (scientific) data.
This course consists of two parts: Basics and Advanced. The Basics part assumes no knowledge of Blender, while the Advanced part builds upon the skills and knowledge of the Basics part.
We provide this course either as an online self-paced course over a period of 2-3 weeks, or as an in-person full-day course. Please check the Schedule and News pages for upcoming dates. Or search the Euro CC course agenda for the course modules:
- Introduction Scientific Visualisation with Blender: Data, Lights, Camera, Action!
- Advanced topics in scientific visualization with Blender: Geometry, Scripts, Animation, Action!
This course is created and maintained by the visualization team of the SURF High-Performance Computing and Visualization group. This course is provided by SURF within the context of the EuroCC Netherlands NCC. We have been providing this course since 2018, usually twice a year, and initially in-person. Due to the restrictions during the COVID-19 lock-down period we decided to turn this course into a fully online version, based on positive experiences with the first advanced Blender course we provided online in 2020.
