We presented in 2008 the initial steps of our project, to use Blender for scientific representation and molecular animation of life at the cellular level. This report will focus on some developments in two major aspects: the use of Blender Game Engine in conjunction with other scientific programs to elaborate the movement of proteins and the development of a visual code based on texturing and p...

This paper describes the development of a virtual system that operates a robotic arm for educational purposes, the system allows to visualize in a synthetic environment to this robot and send signals through the USB port to replicate the movements in the real model. It addresses the solution to the problem of achieving a portable and multiplatform system. This solution is supported in Blender s...

The size and morphology of particulate polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge prepared by a blender technique for embolotherapy were analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Techniques for preparation and sizing of PVA sponge particles are described. Two types of particulate material, differing in both size and morphology, were found. Large particles (greater than 50 micron) had irregular sh...

In this paper we further investigate some applications of Nambu mechanics in hydrodynamical systems. Using the Euler equations for a rotating rigid body Névir and Blender [J. Phys. A 26 (1993), L1189–L1193] had demonstrated the connection between Nambu mechanics and noncanonical Hamiltonian mechanics. Nambu mechanics is extended to incompressible ideal hydrodynamical fields using energy and hel...

Last year, we developed a collaborative animation rendering system called DSABR (Distributed System for Automated Blender Rendering) [2]. Due to the growing demand for increasingly complex digital 3D modeling and animation, our software application harnesses the computing resources of multiple networked machines to speed up the rendering of digital animated videos. Although we have working syst...

Background and objectives: the weaning procedure of mechanical ventilation in many patients is a difficult and long process and increases the time of mechanical ventilation. There are numerous ways to achieve this goal. One common way is using CPAP-ventilator. Considering the lower price of Blender-Humidifier compared to CPAPof ventilator and the limited number of studies in this field, this st...
