Bioxel Nodes is a Blender addon for scientific volumetric data visualization. It using Blender's powerful **Geometry Nodes** and **Cycles** to process and render volumetric data.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Realistic rendering result, also support EEVEE NEXT.
|
|
- Support multiple formats.
|
|
- Support 4D volumetric data.
|
|
- All kinds of cutters.
|
|
- Simple and powerful nodes.
|
|
- Based on blender natively, can work without addon.
|
|
|
|
**Read the [getting started](https://docs.omoolab.xyz/bioxelnodes/latest/en/installation) to begin your journey into visualizing volumetric data!**

## Support 4D volumetric data
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
🥰 4D volumetric data can also be imported into Blender.
|
|
|
|
## Support EEVEE NEXT
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
👍 EEVEE NEXT is absolutely AWESOME! Bioxel Nodes is fully support EEVEE NEXT now! However, there are some limitations:
|
|
|
|
1. Only one cutter supported.
|
|
2. EEVEE result is not that great as Cycles does.
|
|
|
|
## Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
- Only works with Cycles CPU , Cycles GPU (OptiX), EEVEE
|
|
- Section surface cannot be generated when convert to mesh (will be supported soon)
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- Better multi-format import experience
|
|
- One-click bake model with texture
|
|
- AI Segmentation to Generate Labels
