Hi Dora,
would it be possible for you to share the mesh with us? That would make
troubleshooting easier.
Best,
Caspar

Betreff: Re: [mitk-users] VTK mesh rendering issue
Hello everyone,
Can anyone please shed some light on this annoying issue? The surface mesh I'm
trying to visualise is "not even supposed" to be transparent. It's a solid
simple VTK mesh which has no problem rendering on a standalone VTK application.
The rendering issue only happens within the MITK platform. As parts of
visualisation disappears when I rotate the mesh, I can't reliably pick
cells/points on the surface of this mesh within MITK. I notices some other user
has reported a similar bug: https://phabricator.mitk.org/T23485 too.
Any help or hints would go a long way as I've been stuck on this for a while
now.
Many thanks
Dora

Hi again,
I tried to code vtkDepthSortPolyData in my application to fix the rendering
issue (discussed before) in a custom VTK renderer I have built on top of MITK.
The issue now I'm facing is the location of geteventposition (mouse locations)
from the VTK interactor seems to be all over the place. Is there anyway to fix
this rendering problem in MITK? I don't think enabling Depth Sorting would be a
good/long term solution. Any ideas as always would be highly appreciated.
Best wishes

Hi Caspar,
Switching the opacity makes the whole mesh more opaque or transparent but
doesn't change the strange visualisation problem. The meshes I'm testing are
not supposed to be transparent at all.
Thanks for all your help.
Best wishes

Hi Dora,
I know we had some issues with depth sorting for transparent surfaces over the
years. Does your visualization change when you right click the surface in the
data manager and switch the opacity between 1.0 and 0.99?
Best,
Caspar

Hi Caspar,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to change the rendering properties and it seems
that enabling the "Depth Sorting" option fix the problem temporarily. Does this
give a hint what might be the underlying problem?
The specs are:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.7
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kabylake GT2)
Processor: Intel Core i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80 GHz x 4

Hi Dora,
sorry for the late reply. I am not sure what the cause might be. It seems to be
on our side, so it might be due to specific options we set on the rendering
context that differ from the default vtk options. It could be helpful to know
the hardware and openGL specs for your systems.
You could try changing some of the surface rendering properties to narrow down
the culprit. (Just open the properties view and change e.g. the
materal.Interpolation method)
Best,
Caspar

Dear Casper,
I just created a standalone app to visualise the same mesh with VTK alone and
it seems fine (attached screenshot). The VTK version I used was the exact same
as what comes with MITK 2016.3.0 super build.
It appears that something in the MITK 2016.3.0 renderer window is not happy
with my version of Ubuntu 16.04. I tested the same mesh both on a laptop and a
desktop with Ubuntu 16.04 and they both had the same issue. They both have a
clean newly installed version of Ubuntu. The exact same setup on older Ubuntu
14.04 doesn't suffer from the issue.
Any ideas what I should be looking at?
Many thanks as always.

Hi Dora,
it might be something with the way we render surfaces. It might also be
something with VTK itself. Could you render the surface in VTK directly and
report whether the same thing happens there?
I have opened a task for it [1]. Even if it is a VTK issue it would be
interesting to know your laptops graphics chip.
Best,
Caspar

Betreff: [mitk-users] VTK mesh rendering issue
Hi everyone,
I load a simple VTK mesh in MITK 2016.03 and the 3D view has issues rendering
it properly. By rotating the mesh around half of its surface become transparent
for no reason and you can see the other side of the mesh. I attached a
screenshot too.
This doesn't happen to me on my Linux desktop but only on the Linux Ubuntu
laptop, so I guessed maybe there is something wrong with my graphics card
driver but the same mesh on the same laptop renders normally on Paraview for
instance.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Dora
