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.

![cover](https://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/assets/cover.png)

-   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://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/installation) to begin your journey into visualizing volumetric data!**

## Support 4D volumetric data

![4d](https://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/assets/4d-time.gif)

🥰 4D volumetric data can also be imported into Blender.

## Support EEVEE NEXT

![eevee](https://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/assets/eevee.gif)

👍 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
