4d plot animation NetCDF
Hey everybody,
I am a beginner in Max now making a crash course myself in Jitter. My task to solve and the question to ask is, if it is possible to make a 4d plot animation in Jitter from satellite geo data that is stored in NetCDF files. The variables I can read out of the data are X, Y coordinates for a grid of 432x432 vertices. The variable Z contains the height of the topography for each vertex.
The animation would happen through the changing Z coordinate in a monthly time period.
I know that it is possible to generate a topography / terrain with jit.noise for the axis z but this is generic. I would like to replace it with the real data for z / height.
Does anybody have a clue if this is possible? I would be so grateful!
Hey Deau, all is possible.
You just need to read the data and fill a matrix with it.
I would suggest to use JS scripting for that.
Hey Federico,
thank you a lot for your tip! I will try that. I owe you already for your great tutorials :)
