post_samples The post_samples module is used to visualize: Sampling locations and the values of the properties in .apdv files The lithology specified in a .pgf, .lsdv, .lpdv or .geo files The location and values of well screens in a .aidv file Warning When using the Datamap parameters (Minimum and Maximum) unlinked such the the resulting datamap is a subset of the true data range, probing in C Tech Web Scenes will only be able to report values within the truncated data range. Values outside that limited range will display the nearest value within the truncated range.
explode_and_scale The explode_and_scale module is used to separate (or explode) and apply a scaling factor to the vertical dimension (z-coordinate) of objects in a model. explode_and_scale can also translate the fields in the z direction, and control the visibility of individual cell sets (e.g. geologic layers). Module Input Ports Z Scale [Number] Accepts Z Scale (vertical exaggeration) from other modules Explode [Number] Accepts the Explode distance from other modules Input Field [Field] Accepts a data field from 3d estimation or other similar modules. Module Output Ports
plume shell The plume_shell module creates the external faces of a volumetric subset of a 3D input. The resulting closed volume “shell” generally is used only as a visualization of a plume and would not be used as input for further subsetting or volumetric computations since it is hollow (empty). This module creates a superior visualization of a plume as compared with other modules such as plume passing to external_faces and is quicker and more memory efficient.
intersection_shell The intersection_shell is a powerful module that incorporates some of the characteristics of plume_shell, yet allows for a large number of sequential (serial) subsetting operations, just like intersection. To get the functionality of (the now deprecated) constant_shell module, you would turn off Include Varying Surface. Because this module has “intersection” in its name, it allows you to add any number of subsetting operations.
change_minmax The change_minmax module allows you to override the minimum and/or maximum data values for coloring purposes. This functionality is commonly needed when working with time-series data. For example, the user can set the minmax values to bracket the widest range achieved for many datasets, thus allowing consistent mapping from dataset to dataset during a time-series animation or individual sub-sites.
band data band data provides a means to color surfaces or volumetric objects (converted to surfaces) in solid colored bands. band data can contour by both nodal and cell data. This module does not do subsetting like plume_shell , plume. It is used in conjunction with these modules to change the way their output is colored.
volume_renderer Volume_renderer directly renders a 3D uniform field using either the Back-to-Front (BTF) or Ray-tracing volume rendering techniques. The Ray-tracing mode is available to both OpenGL and the software renderer. The BTF renderer, which is configured as the default, is available only in the OpenGL renderer. NOTE: This module and its rendering technique are not supported in C Tech Web Scenes (CTWS files).
opacity by nodal data opacity by nodal data provides a means to adjust the opacity (1 - transparency) of any object based on its data values using a simple ramp function which assigns a starting opacity to values less than or equal to the Level Start and an ending opacity to values greater than or equal to the Level End. The appearance of the resulting output is often similar in appearance to volume rendering. opacity by nodal data converts data into partially transparent surfaces where data values at each point in a grid are represented by a particular color and opacity.
slope_and_aspect The slope_and_aspect module determines the slope and aspect of a surface. The slope is the angle between the surface and the horizon. The aspect is the cardinal direction in degrees (rotating clockwise with 0° being North) that the slope is facing. Module Input Ports Z Scale [Number] Accepts Z Scale (vertical exaggeration). Input Field [Field] Accepts a field with scalar or vector data. Module Output Ports
select single data The select single data module extracts a single data component from a field. select single data can extract scalar data components or vector components. Scalar components will be output as scalar components and vector components will be output as vector components. Module Input Ports Input Field [Field] Accepts a data field. Module Output Ports Output Field [Field] Outputs the subsetted field as faces. Output Object [Renderable]: Outputs to the viewer.
The import _wavefront_obj module will only read Wavefront Technologies format .OBJ files which include object textures which are represented (includ
