| − | The topic of the new Volume Rendering Module is the integration of hardware accelerated volume rendering. There is a special focus of achieving interactive update rates, easy user interaction (e.g. by offering several presets) and the use of label maps. Goals also include incremental updates (if module is used with Editor module), saving and loading of the configuration etc.

| − | ==How to compile the module==
| |
| − | *Switch the compile option "VolumeRenderingModule" on (in cmake)
| |
| − | *Make sure that you recompile "Slicer3.cxx"
| |
| − | *Compile
| |
| − | ==Current Features==
| |
| − | *Visualize grayscale volumes
| |
| − | *Create Visualization Parameter sets, load and save them
| |
| − | *Use preset Visualization Parameter sets and link already created Parameter sets with current Volume

| − | ===Description===
| |
| − | *Loading changing of MRML-Nodes is possible during runtime
| |
| − | *At the moment no removing of MRML-Nodes possible
| |
| − | *Change properties (Shading, Interpolation, mapping)
| |
| − | *Calculate transfer functions automatically
| |
| − | *Performance:
| |
| − | **Interrupting is possible in render window.
| |
| − | **Interrupting somewhere else requires platform dependent coding (q.v. problems)
| |
| − | *Cropping is possible
