Bioxel Nodes
v2.0.x supporting only Blender 5.0+. The usage is completely different from before and is not compatible with old version files. See http://docs.omoolab.xyz/bioxelnodes/2.0.x/en/basics/
Bioxel Nodes
Bioxel Nodes is a Blender addon for scientific volumetric data visualization. It using Blender's powerful Geometry Nodes and Cycles to process and render volumetric data.
- Realistic rendering result, also support EEVEE NEXT.
- Support multiple formats.
- Support 4D volumetric data.
- All kinds of cutters.
- Simple and powerful nodes.
- Based on blender natively, can work without addon.

Support 4D volumetric data
🥰 4D volumetric data can also be imported into Blender.
Support EEVEE NEXT
👍 EEVEE NEXT is absolutely AWESOME! Bioxel Nodes is fully support EEVEE NEXT now! However, there are some limitations:
- Only one cutter supported.
- EEVEE result is not that great as Cycles does.
Known Limitations
- Only works with Cycles CPU , Cycles GPU (OptiX), EEVEE
- Section surface cannot be generated when convert to mesh (will be supported soon)
Roadmap
- Better multi-format import experience
- One-click bake model with texture
- AI Segmentation to Generate Labels
What's New
2.0.0 May 25th, 2026
v2.0.x supporting only Blender 5.0+. The usage is completely different from before and is not compatible with old version files. See http://docs.omoolab.xyz/bioxelnodes/2.0.x/en/basics/
🚀 New Features
- Supporting Blender 5.1+
- New asset catalog and layer management with Blender asset library integration
- Added scipy_ndimage binary file support for all platforms
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Downgraded h5py to 3.14.0 for compatibility
🛠️ Other Changes
- SimpleITK 2.3.1→2.5.5, h5py 3.11.0→3.14.0, added matplotlib, pillow
- Split
bioxelutilsintobioxel.data,bioxel.layer,layer.py,node.pymodules - Merged
node_menu.pyand scattered panel code intopanels.py - Deleted
bioxelutils/common.py,container.py,layer.py,node.py - Updated build.py with better platform support
Really useful add-on. I wish that there was a node for selecting a range of values instead of just a single threshold value. I hope it gets updated to work with 5.1 or higher very soon.
