DataSurface --- Create 3D Surfaces from Data Files


Hello!

When I am about to present some research models on seminars or lectures, I want to use blender to make them look pretty. However, these models are usually a sand of data in the data base within our numerical calculation program. To load the data from these programs into Blender, I wrote this addon.

To view scripts, please travel to my github: https://github.com/niasw/add_mesh_DataSurface
To view documents, please travel to blender wiki: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.5/Py/Scripts/Add_Mesh/Data_Surface

I use Octave or Matlab script example.m to generate the matrices of x, y and z coordinates data files Xdata.txt, Ydata.txt and Zdata.txt. Then I use this addon to add the mesh from them. I tested it on Blender 2.71, and it worked.

If possible, I will be glad to put my code into the addon extra objects.

Thanks.

Thanks for Noel Stoutenburg's suggestion.

new tasks have been added to project:
[new function]: quick add for z=f(x,y) surface.
[new function]: loading from .csv file. (the key issue is to identify text labels to determine where is x vector, where is y vector, and where is z matrix. Empty data and text label will be involved!)

Scripts have been written. Wiki construction done.
