Re: [Paraview] Volume rendering rectilinear data

Hi David, Thanks for confirming it. Does Kitware have a plan to implement volume rendering for rectilinear volume? You see the spectrum from vtkImageData, to vtkRectilinearGrid, vtkStructuredGrid --- volume rendering is implemented on both ends but not for the middle one, which is a bit odd

Not that I know of. We are more likely to make the conversion to image based volume rendering automatic, faster and more precise. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. Principal Engineer 21 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-881-4909 On Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 12:23 PM, Weiguang Guan

Re: [Paraview] Volume rendering rectilinear data

You are correct it will not directly volume render vtkRectilinearGrids. Use threshold filter (all values) to map to a vtkUnstructuredGrid for direct rendering but at a cost of memory explosion. Apply the resample to image filter to map to vtkImageData for fast volume rendering, but at a cost of

[Paraview] Volume rendering rectilinear data

I didn't a test and I'm surprised that Paraview cannot do volume rendering on rectilinear data. Can someone confirm it or I made a mistake? Cheers, Weiguang -- -- Weiguang Guan Research Scientist RHPCS, McMaster University Phone: 905-525-9140 x22540
