Blender for scientific figures and animations — •Timo Doerries — Institute of Physics & Astronomy, University of Potsdam, 14476 Potsdam, Germany

Blender is a free open source 3D tool. It can be used to produce static figures for publications [1,2]. In addition to a graphical user interface it can be completely controlled using simple Python syntax. This allows creating complex animations, that can be used to illustrate simulations. I will show how to set up a simple ray-tracing image and animate a simulation from the field of statistical mechanics using the python interface.
