NeuroMLToPOV-Ray

Note: the latest version of this export to POV-Ray has been moved to pyNeuroML. For exporting NML2 from NEURON use this and then use pynml-povray (see here). See also here.

This repo can still be used for converting NeuroML v1.8.1 files to POV-Ray

Converting NeuroML v1.8.1 and v2.0 files to POV-Ray: http://www.povray.org

Still in development! Use with caution!

This uses a Python (minidom) based parser which generates POVRay files directly for NeruoML v1.8.1 models (NeuroML1ToPOVRay.py).

It uses libNeuroML for NeuroML v2 models (NeuroML2ToPOVRay.py).

To get a feel for the usage of this tool, install POVRay (http://www.povray.org) and try running:

./test.sh

or (after installing libNeuroML)

./testv2.sh

This library has been used to generated some movies in 3D of NeuroML networks, e.g. here.
