Generating Galaxies and Visualizing them using Blender.
The Project began during my Intership at the ZAH (Zentrum Für Astronomie der Uni Heidelberg) thank's to @tugi.
The Repo we created during that time can be found here
The Code is split up into two parts (03.12.17): The first part creates the data using Python so the second part can visualize it in Blender.
-
Generate the Lookup table:
$ ./lookup <where_to_save> <nr_of_stars>
Example:
$ ./lookup 42 1e7
-
Generate the Coordinates:
$ ./coord <nr_of_stars> <where_to_save>
Example
$ ./coord.py 1000 11
-
Display the Stars using Blender:
$ blender --python view.py -- <star_data_location>
Example
$ blender --python view.py -- 11
| Nr. of stars | time |
|---|---|
| 1e5 | ~ 3 seconds |
| 1e6 | ~ 29 seconds |
| 1e7 | ~ 315 seconds |
| 1e9 | ~ 9 hours |
| Nr. of stars | Nr. of stars knocked out |
|---|---|
| 1e9 | ~ 45000 |
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Time (hour min sec) | 1:30:45 |
| Number of Stars | 1000 |
| Stars Kicked: | 327718674 |
| Percent: | 0.000305139767531221% |
