Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNCFG0kLnDY In Part 2 we go from static fields to moving flow with Blender 5’s volumetric Grid nodes. We build a toroidal (donut-shaped) Gaussian scalar field ϕ, compute its gradient for a velocity field v = −∇ϕ, upgrade the glyphs (arrows) and place them on a 3D lattice for spatial context, then introduce Advect Grid to push a dye droplet through the field and render a clean animation. What you’ll learn: A torus-shaped scalar field: Safe, readable vector glyphs: better arrow geometry, length mapping, and a 3D glyph grid with culling/falloff Advect Grid: setup, Step Size (safe-normalize) Dye seeding & shading: isosurface vs true volume. Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:04 Recap from Part 1 05.24 Grouping nodes and defining 3D lattice for glyphs 17:05 Defining Torus-Shaped (donut) Gaussian density 26:12 Configuring scalar field parameters 27:31 FIxing arrow shape 28:19 Creating Dye droplet 34:19 Adding the simulation nodes 39:34 VIsualizing the results 49:13 Outro Who is this for? Researchers, engineers, and educators who need clear, publishable figures and explainer animations—inside Blender. New in Blender 5 you’ll use: Grid sockets, Field↔Grid, Grid Gradient, Advect Grid, Grid-to-Mesh, and grid-aware Viewer. If you want Part 3 (colorbars/ticks automation, divergence/Laplacian overlays, and tracer particles), drop a comment 👍 #Blender5 #GeometryNodes #ScientificVisualization #DataViz #VolumetricGrids #AdvectGrid #VectorField #Isosurface #Torus #Shorts #Tutorial

Blender 5.0 finally gives us volumetric grids in Geometry Nodes. In this tutorial I build a scalar field ϕ from Gaussians, compute its gradient ∇ϕ, and visualize the vector field with glyphs (arrows)—all inside Blender, no external tools. Who this is for: researchers, engineers, and educators who need clear, publication-grade visuals without bouncing through ParaView/Matlab for every shot. Reality check: this won’t replace domain solvers; it will let you make accurate explainers and animations fast. What you’ll learn What’s new in Blender 5 for sci-viz: Grid sockets, Field→Grid / Sample Grid, Grid Gradient (plus Laplacian/Divergence), Grid-to-Mesh, and a Viewer that understands non-geometry. Domain topology: set voxel size sensibly (aim ~100–200 voxels/axis). Scalar field (ϕ): build one/two Gaussians with Field→Grid. Vector field (v): compute v = −∇ϕ with a safe-normalize (no NaNs at critical points). Glyph slice: sample v on a plane, align/scale instances for readable arrows, color by magnitude with a consistent colormap. Animation: move Gaussian centers to show how the vector field responds in time. Render tips: EEVEE/Cycles settings that avoid banding and porcupine arrows. Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:07 Building a scalar field ϕ (Gaussians) 09:54 Visualizing the scalar field as a volume 14:48 Defining the glyph position 17:43 Computing the gradient and creating a vector field 18:40 Creating the arrows and configuring the glyphs 26:27 Coloring the glyphs 34:06 Proper orientation of the Arrows 35:48 Creating the scene 38:08 Final adjustments 39:31 Animating the gaussians 42:38 Result and Outro Coming in Part 2 Colorbar & ticks synced to your colormap, true volume rendering for ϕ, and advection of a dye field (and a lightweight diffusion add-on) to tell flow stories honestly. — If this helped, drop a comment with the dataset you’d like to see next (MRI, CFD slice, DEM fields, etc.).
