Movies

These pages contain some movies of our simulations, mostly showing rotations, flights through the Local Universe or following the evolution of galaxies. Usually, the colours code the density distribution of dark matter, gas or stars. Choosing a component in the left menu will bring you to the corresponding movies.
Enjoy!

Visualisation tools
Most images and movies were rendered with Arman Khalatyan's PMViewer, a tool dedicated for rendering particles of N-body simulations. It uses a perspective projection for real 3D-feeling and allows to render particles as small spheres, which results in nice, smooth-looking pictures. For more information and download, please click on the link above.
The remaining images were produced using own density estimators and IDL or codes based on the public software pgplot.

Copyright note
Please do not use these movies without mentioning the CLUES project and giving proper credit to the artist(s)/institution.
