[Paraview] Is it possible to store the model of the glyphs in Paraview as a single mesh?

[Magnus Elden]

Hi,

I am not trying to open it again in another Paraview client. I want the 3D model so that I can use it in 3D modeling programs like Blender, Maya etc.
This is the example vectors I have visualized: http://puu.sh/rXLJj/9a685c656d.png
Each glyph consists of 9 vertices and a bunch of surface data. Let us say there are 100 glyphs in total. I want to export all 100 glyphs as one object. One static mesh. This static mesh will then have 900 vertices.

And as you said, I was able to export it as .ply and it works. Thanks.

Yours,
Magnus Elden

Magnus,

ParaView state files are your best bet for saving everything in your visualization so you can come back to it at another time or even move it to another machine. Note that the state file is an XML file separate from your data files.

Other options OBJ, PLY, and VRML should save most of the surface properties in your visualization. Some might be missing, however, as there is a not a one-to-one mapping from visualization capabilities in ParaView to what can be saved in those file types.

HTH,
Cory

Hi,

I have a series of flowfields I visualize using paraview. This works great and is easy to understand, but I would like to extract a single frame as a single model. Is this possible?

It can be any 3D file type that allow me to store the colour and shape as it appears in the Paraview client. A solution using the editor or a solution using the paraview python scripts are both fine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yours,
Magnus Elden
