Project mention: Show HN: I 3D scanned the tunnels inside the Maya Pyramid Temples at Copan | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-15
You should be able to do this with nerfstudio: https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio/ I've done it a few times, you can test 3d Gaussian Splatting also instead.

I mostly use tools like this for data exploration in Jupyter notebooks and PyVista was fine when I tried it out last year. However, I found I could get results much faster with Vedo[0].
No hate though, I'm so glad there are options in this space!

Project mention: Fastplotlib: Driving scientific discovery through data visualization | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-11
I don't know Datashader that well, but from what I understand, it generates an image from a set of primitives (e.g. points), and then allows you to interactively inspect that image. It does not re-render the points on every frame like Fastplotlib/Pygfx does.
Depending on your GPU, you can render say 1-50 million points smoothly. Also see e.g. https://github.com/pygfx/pygfx/discussions/819

3d-transforms
3D Transforms is a library to easily work with 3D data and make 3D transformations. This library originally started as a few functions here and there for my own work which I then turned into a library.

This I think is an underrated tool for scientific visualization. I made a matplotlib add-on that will let you make stereogram plots of data, and use this cross eyed or parallel eyed techniques to see it in 3D. https://github.com/scottshambaugh/mpl_stereo

Neat approach! For this kind of mesh animation on a sphere’s surface, another path worth exploring is quaternion-based orientation traversal. I’ve been experimenting with this in SpinStep[0] — a Python library that uses quaternions to step through spatial structures based on orientation rather than position.
It’s particularly helpful when you want smooth, rotation-aware transitions (like gliding across a sphere’s surface) without relying solely on angles or coordinate systems. Could be interesting to try a similar traversal heuristic in a Three.js context using Quaternion.slerp().
