Good Day,
I have installed BVTKnodes plugin for Blender and have created the streamlines and sphere glyphs as two separate blender meshes. I am creating these by referencing to the paraview filters. Similar to using the contour filter in Paraview and animating the glyphs, I want to know how to do the same in Blender using the BVTKnodes. The goal is to make the glyphs follow the streamline in Blender.
For reference : [ParaView - Particles and streamlines - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk91aLVpwXc) (I want to do the same in Blender using BVTKnodes)

Looks more like a question for Blender than for ParaView.

The Question will mainly suit for the VTK…I tried the Contour filter node, But I am not able to make it work like I did it in Paraview. Since Paraview uses VTK, and BlenderVTK plugin uses it too, Its similar…Where do you suggest is the the best place to post this?
