Data Set: https:\/\/catalog.data.gov\/dataset\/death-rates-for-suicide-by-sex-race-hispanic-origin-and-age-united-states-020c1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose this data set because I wanted to make 3D visualizations of data that was important to me. I used the data to generate a vessel like shape in rhino by using the year as my z axis and the estimate of deaths per 100,000 as my r axis. I did this for all persons, male, and female. I wanted to do it with races as well, but I didn’t have enough time to get all of them done and didn’t want to present an unfinished family of vessels. I chose to use vessel shapes as I thought they were a more elegant way of depicting data rather than just using a graph. Within rhino the units are 1:1 as each step up in z correlates to a year (Note: 1950, 60, and 70 are included as decades as the data for these times is less precise), and each unit on the x axis represents an increase in the number of deaths estimated per 100,000 persons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
