Visualize volume data #122

Open blairlyons opened 3 years ago

blairlyons commented 3 years ago

Use Case

It would be nice for users with simulation outputs in the form of volume data to be able to view their results in the viewer.

Acceptance Criteria

Users can import and view volume data in the viewer.

Details

Cellular potts model (ARCADE) is a good use case for this.

Data arrives as collections of 3d points defining a volume discretization of each object.

Visualize as collections of spheres (or something better? metaball?). transparency? minecraft-style cubes?

Needs more design and specification.

Currently we're visualizing the ARCADE data with spheres using existing simularium features for drawing non-volume agents, but it would be nice to be able to use true volume rendering
