Abstract:


    We present a high-performance, VFX-inspired workflow that transforms unstructured CFD data into scalable, high-fidelity visualizations using parallel voxelization, OpenVDB export, and CyclesPhi rendering, supporting both batch processing and interactive frame exploration for scientific analysis and visual communication.
