interpolation of two planes in 3d with different resolutions

Hello there,

I have a researcher interested in constructing a dataset for volumetric visualization out the interpolation of two planes that are offset from each other

Is there a straightforward interpolator filter in paraview that will help us with this? Or should we handle this outside of paraview?

Just for checking, what kind of values do you expect to have between the two planes ? zero ? or some kind of interpolation of the two planes ?

Hey @mwestphal , this was a super quick reply!

In between I’d hope to have something like the interpolation of the values on the planes.

I tried making the planes, point data and then using the point volume interpolation, but I can’t get it to perform the interpolation strictly along something like the normal vector of the surface?

I did get close I think with the linear kernel, and “n closest” as the footprint, but I can tell that it’s also mixing values with neighboring points along the same plane which wasn’t the goal necessarily (although I might need to check with the researcher if this behavior is to be avoided)?

Indeed, I dont think there is a tool that will perform the linear interpolation between the two planes alongside the axis.

It shouldnt be too hard to implement in a programmable filter though.
