Slides

• Seminar Slides: Introduction to the SCS VisLab plus A Layman's Guide to Amira
• NOTE: Slides on Amira are limited since the tutorial was primarily interactive. We discussed the listed Amira modules and used the data from the exercises below to highlight their functionality.

Example: Plume Data from Minnesota

• Copy tarball from my home directory to your local machine's /tmp directory:

cp ~bollig/amiraVolumeExample.bz2 /tmp/. 

• Untar the file:

cd /tmp && tar xvfj amiraVolumeExample.bz2 

• Load the script in Amira:

cd amiraVolumeExample && amira CastVolume.hx

• Play around with the different modules and try to add your own.
• View the README for information regarding the dataset: Many thanks to Prof. David A. Yuen from the University of MN Twin Cities (MN Supercomputing Institute and Dept. of Geology/Geophysics) for this data.
