Description

This simulation shows a depiction of a lava lamp featuring mesmerizing oozing lava.

Purpose

This is a demonstration of Hypercosm's volumetric modeling and rendering capabilities. In many applications such as scientific visualization, meteorological visualization, or medical imaging, a surface description of a model is not available. Instead, we have a volumetric description of the model, which consists of a set of values at sampled points inside of a 3D space. What is needed is a way to convert those sampled points into a surface that we can visualize. Hypercosm provides built-in support for volumetric visualization for these applications.

Features

• Volumetric visualization
  Hypercosm provides built-in support for creating surfaces from volumetric data using a standard "marching cubes" algorithm.
  
  
• Multiple colored lights
  This simulation also features multiple animated colored lights for psychedelic effect.
