Re: [HCP-Users] Workbench vs 3DSlicer?
That is interesting that 3DSlicer has scene files. I used it a little long ago and don’t remember that. Does it have surfaces? Connectome Workbench development is internal except for official releases. Basically this allows us to find the bugs internally and then fix them without inflicting them on all of the users. There will be a number of major new features in the next release. Peace, Matt.

Re: [HCP-Users] Workbench vs 3DSlicer?
I haven't used 3DSlicer, so I can only give my impressions from a brief scan of its top-level documentation. It looks like it is focused on volume images, and intended for use on one patient at a time, and possibly focused on anatomical scans. It seems that its main (only?) use of surfaces is as a way to visualize the boundaries of voxel-based structures. I don't know what their scene files support, but it is nice to know that we aren't alone in using the concept. Workbench is fairly focused on surface-based analysis (which enables more topologically appropriate options for spatial processing of cortical data than typical volume-based processing), and group analysis, with consideration to what is useful for studying fMRI and (some) other modalities, in particular the HCP datasets. Our scene files are focused on making publication-ready figures of these kinds of data (without needing something like photoshop for common cases of combining panels, adding text, arrows, circles, etc). Our development team is small (currently 2 people), which is part of why we don't make new releases very often. The activity on github since the last release is not just bugfixes, I would guess that more than half the commits are related to new features or behavior improvements. We track internal feature requests in the same way we track internal bug reports, so referencing an "issue" in a commit doesn't mean it is a bugfix.
