Before us, there have been many tutorials and add-ons for importing volumetric data into Blender. However, we found that there were many details that were not addressed in place, some scientific facts were ignored, and the volume rendering was not pretty enough. With Bioxel Nodes, you can easily import the volumetric data into Blender, and more importantly, it can quickly make a beautiful realistic rendering of it.

Below are some examples with Bioxel Nodes. Thanks to Cycles Render, the volumetric data can be rendered with great detail:
The "Bioxel" in "Bioxel Nodes", is a combination of the words "Bio-" and "Voxel". Bioxel is a voxel that stores biological data. We are developing a toolkit around Bioxel for better biological data visualization. but before its release, we made this Blender version of bioxels toolkit first, in order to let more people to have fun with volumetric data.[Getting Started](https://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/getting-started)

It is not support editing the same blender file across add-on versions. In order to make sure that the previous file works properly. You need to save the staged data before upgrading ( read the last section of [Getting Started](https://omoolab.github.io/BioxelNodes/latest/getting-started/#share-your-file) ).
