Hi,
<div>I have been trying to get paraview to play nice with blender. Specifically, I'd like to export an x3d file which blender will draw nicely. </div>
<div>I was able to do so from a dataset when reading the data locally, but to do so requires some awful contortions. I have to export the data first from VisIt as a set of VTK files, then read those in with paraview, then export as x3d, so blender imports
them as a set of objects, and it is difficult to color all those pieces in blender. So I'd like to have a more direct way to do this. </div>
<div>What happens in parallel is that if I "Export Scene" of a contour that looks like this in paraview:</div>

<div>I believe that this means that Paraview is exporting the data out of order. But there may be ambiguity in some specification. Can someone help with this? </div>
<div>Thanks! </div>
