Visualization
Bl.ock is a simple viewer for sharing code examples hosted on GitHub Gist. For example, if your Gist URL is: https://gist.github.com/mbostock/1353700 Replace “gist.github.com” with “bl.ocks.org” in the URL to view it: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1353700 It has configurations to determine how your block will be displayed. Bl.ock runs your visualization code (usually is d3) and displays it, unlike github that only displays the code.

From the website: Blender is a free and open source 3D animation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender’s API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender’s future releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. Examples from many Blender-based projects are available in the showcase.
