1. A method for processing sensor data associated with a formation, comprising:
obtaining the sensor data relating to one or more measurement values of the formation proximate to a wellbore;
dividing the sensor data into a plurality of voxels in a three-dimensional environment, each voxel corresponding to a location in the formation surrounding the wellbore;
receiving a selection of a first point in the three-dimensional environment corresponding to a first position along a length of the wellbore;
receiving a selection of a first two-dimensional shape in the three-dimensional environment, the first two-dimensional shape intersecting the first point;
receiving a selection of a second point within the three-dimensional environment corresponding to a second position different from the first position along the length of the wellbore;
receiving a selection of a second two-dimensional shape in the three-dimensional environment, the second two-dimensional shape intersecting the second point;
generating a three-dimensional volume containing a subset of the plurality of voxels of sensor data associated with a portion of the formation surrounding the wellbore, the three-dimensional volume being bound at least by the first point and the first two-dimensional shape at a first end and by the second point and the second two-dimensional shape at a second end opposite the first end;
generating a three-dimensional model of the sensor data within the generated three-dimensional volume; and
rendering the generated three-dimensional volume and the three-dimensional model for display as an output on a display, wherein:
the three-dimensional volume displays the sensor data associated with the portion of the formation surrounding the wellbore; and
the three-dimensional model is displayed either before or after the three-dimensional volume is displayed.
