Basic Package

From a reconstructed geometry or from any imported 3D data, including time series, the Basic Amira Package delivers a wide range of visualization techniques and interactive manipulation capabilities. Through a comprehensive set of 3D post-processing tools, it offers a highly flexible and powerful 3D visualization and simulation platform.

 

Platforms
Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OS, Linux

 

Features
