Abstract:

Vayu 1.0 is a freeware that deals with surface mesh files. It provides a set of tools for rendering, labelling, revisualizing, and reanalyzing meshes. It also offers features for VR mode and one-stop animation production. This paper describes the major features of Vayu 1.0, which includes three main panels, i.e. mesh information, keyframe editor, and shading-transform. Vayu, as an innovative freeware, contains the state-of-the-art new features which provides a fresh set of tools to accelerate future development directions in paleontology, biological sciences and beyond.

Key words: Vayu 1.0, visualization tool, surface mesh, paleontology

摘要:

Vayu 1.0, 一个专门用于处理三维表面模型的新的免费软件,可以广泛应用于古生物学、生命科学、医学、考古学等多种领域的三维表面模型的可视化乃至虚拟空间交互等方向的研究。Vayu 1.0提供了一整套针对三维表面模型的编辑、渲染、标注、分析等可视化工具,同时自带VR模式以及快捷的动画制作方法。详细介绍了Vayu 1.0版本和基本操作方法,对于未来古生物学乃至生命科学数字可视化方向的探索和推进具有重要意义。
