At Newcastle University in the UK, we have been using Blender to visualise different types of data. The aim is to produce engaging visualisations (including images, animations and videos) that tell interesting stories based on the data and to automate the creation of those visualisations as much as possible. Our current focus is on visualising data from a network of sensors in and around the city that monitor temperature, rainfall, air quality etc. Our research includes groundbreaking work in the area of visualising uncertainty, as well as the production of large-scale images using Blender on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform.

In this case study, we will talk about how we used Blender to create a number of different visualisations and present some of the results.
