Hakowan: A 3D data visualization grammar

Hakowan

Hakowan is a 3D data visualization grammar. It is inspired by the grammar of graphics, and it is designed for easily creating beautiful 3D visualizations.

Install

Hakowan relies on Lagrange for geometry processing and supports three rendering backends: Mitsuba (default, photorealistic), Blender (Cycles/EEVEE), and WebGL (interactive browser viewer). Hakowan and its core dependencies can be installed via pip:

pip install hakowan

Note that Hakowan requires Python 3.11 and above.

Quick start

import hakowan as hkw

base = hkw.layer("mesh.obj")            # Create a base layer
hkw.render(base, filename="image.exr")  # Render!
