[GRASS-user] Using VTK from GRASS inside Blender..

Hi to all!
I am making some tests about using DEM from GRASS, inside Blender; right now i
have no success about it. :frowning:
Has anyone ever worked on this direction?

Thanks
Luca

Hi Luca,

I was also playing a little bit with Blender, but I haven't figured out a reasonable way to import raster DEM yet. I think Blender needs a mesh, perhaps something like r.to.vect, v.delaunay is the way to go.

Finally my solution was to use Povray for a 3D animation (there is r.out.pov).

If you find a solution, please post it here.

You can use the "Noise" option to distort a mesh's vertices using a
texture:
