Downloads Downloads Anaconda-Server Badge CodeQL GitHub Sponsor

K3D lets you create 3D plots backed by WebGL with high-level API (surfaces, isosurfaces, voxels, mesh, point clouds, vtk objects, volume renderer, colormaps, etc). The primary aim of K3D-jupyter is to be easy to use as a standalone package like matplotlib, but also to allow interoperation with existing libraries as VTK. K3D can be run as:

  • Jupyter Notebook / JupyterLab widget (anywidget) 🚀
  • Google Colab widget 🎉
  • VS Code notebooks 🧩
  • Standalone HTML/JS 📑

Since 3.0.0 a plot also chooses how it is lit, through plot.renderer: simple (the default rasteriser), advanced (image-based lighting with ambient occlusion) or cinematic (progressive path tracing). cinematic is experimental — it needs WebGL2 with renderable float textures, does not cover every object (volume_slice is not drawn, volumes stay outside the light simulation), and its API and output may still change; simple and advanced are the stable choices. See Renderers.

Showcase:

Two frames from the renderers 3.0.0 added, both produced by the code in this repository — click either one for how it works.

Curl-noise pearls under the advanced renderer

advanced: image-based lighting and ambient occlusion. A million analytic sphere impostors, with the occlusion in the crevices between strands doing the sculpting.

The Stanford dragon, path traced

cinematic: progressive path tracing. 871k triangles read through VTK, 512 samples, lit only by an environment map — the shadow under the belly and the light the floor throws back into the flank are consequences of the simulation, not effects.

Installation

PyPI

To install from PyPI use pip:

$ pip install k3d

Conda/Anaconda

To install from conda-forge use:

$ conda install -c conda-forge k3d

Google Colab

Since 3.0.0 (the anywidget migration) no extra steps are needed:

!pip install k3d

import k3d and plot - custom widget activation and the text protocol are no longer required.

Installing directly from GitHub

To install directly from this repository (requires git and node.js + npm to build):

$ pip install git+https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter

This also makes possible installing the most up-to-date development version (same requirements):

$ pip install git+https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter@devel

To install any historical version, replace devel above with any tag or commit hash.

Source

For a development installation (requires npm and node.js),

$ git clone https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter.git
$ cd K3D-jupyter
$ pip install -e .

No separate JupyterLab extension step is needed - the widget ships its own frontend module (anywidget).
