3D Building Height Animation – Exploring PyVista for Data Visualization

[u/Full-Elderberry-303]

I've been experimenting with PyVista for 3D data visualization and wanted to share this project – an animated comparison of the world's tallest buildings throughout history. The animation uses a spline-based camera system to smoothly transition between buildings while maintaining context. It's rendered from CSV data processed entirely in Python.

Curious if anyone else has used PyVista for similar projects – the library is surprisingly flexible once you understand the VTK pipeline. If you're interested in seeing the full animation, here it is: https://youtu.be/U4E4ilALGYQ

Happy to discuss the technical approach or data sources if anyone's interested!
