The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open source library for scientific data processing and visualization. BVTKNodes is an addon for Blender. This addon makes it possible to create and execute VTK pipelines configured in Blender Node Editor, to produce surface mesh objects, which can be then modified and visualized in Blender.
BVTKNodes provides Blender users access to data readers for many scientific data formats, along with capability to convert VTK data into Blender mesh. For VTK users, the add-on provides access to high quality and photorealistic rendering and many kind of mesh editing tools. The add-on was first presented at Blender Conference 2018. You can see more examples in a gallery thread on blenderartists.
