I have a table of point coordinates and orientation vectors (or quaternions) that represent the location and orientation of spherical particles coming from a DEM simulation. To show them as such, I apply the 3D Glyphs representation with Sphere as the Glyph Type. This works like a charm.
Then I would like to show how the particles are oriented in space by applying a texture to each glyph that should follow the particle orientation. However, this does not seem to be implemented yet. I’ve tried applying the TextureMaptoSphere filter and loading the texture image, but the particles still appear untextured.
