Re: [gentoo-science] RFC: modeling software

Hello everyone,

Justing, what do you mean by RFC ?
Is that about Rational Function Camera or Rational Function Coefficient ?
So you may need to model what a camera would see and I assume this can
be part of an astrophysical project using a rational function model.
But it seems you have to simulation nova stars effect on planetary motion,
and is there a best way to do that ?

Every little thing interacts with any little thing.
In my opinion, what is usually done is that researchers code their model
themselves in C/C++ (or other) using computional libraries and output files
that can be visualized in 3D using tools as VTK and others.

If you need animations and that you are ready to code a bit in python
to interpret your data into an animation, then you may use blender (blender3d.org).


If you have resolved the equations by hand, I assume your problem is only
about multimedia generation ?
