I added [BVtkNodes](https://github.com/simboden/BVtkNodes). BVtkNodes is a Blender Addon allowing to use VTK within Blender.

> <https://github.com/tkoyama010/awesome-vtk/pull/25>
>
> \## What is this VTK tool?
> 
> BVTKNodes is a Blender add-on that wraps the Visual…ization Toolkit (VTK) library for scientific visualization in Blender. The high-level features of this add-on include:
> 
> \- Node system for developing VTK pipelines
> \- Converters from VTK data to Blender meshes, particles and volumes
> \- Common scientific color maps
> 
> BVTKNodes can be used with Blender's powerful 3D modeling and rendering tools to make figures that are both informative as well as visually stunning. This fork builds on the \[original repository\](https://github.com/simboden/BVtkNodes). Aim is to provide continued updates to newer Blender/VTK versions, new features, bug fixes and community involvement.
