[vtkusers] speed

[Tim Smith (25121)]

Unfortunately I'll end up needing to manipulate the models and allow the
user to interact with them so I don't think paraview is what I'm looking
for.

Hi, I'm looking at a project modelling a large dataset in 3d. I looked
at vpython briefly since I'm familiar with python but I found it far too
slow for my purposes - a model composed of just 50,000 spheres ran like
a dog on a mid range quadro card, and my models might go up to a million
data points.

So I've resigned myself to needing to use something like vtk in c++,
however while I wait for it to compile in visual studio, I thought I
might ask if even vtk can handle such a requirement? I need to be able
to rotate and zoom around the models with reasonable ease as well as
turn various components of the model on and off.

 

 


If all you need to do is rotate, zoom and turn on/off models, check out
Paraview. You will not need to use any programming at all. It is built
for parallel visualization, so if you have access to more hardware you
can surely achieve what you're looking to do.

Thanks,

David
