3D - FiRender Easy 3D reconstruction / rendering from serial sections, optical sections or other 3D Data Core Features
Demo Click here for a demonstration video. Shows some basic features, ease of use and speed. Explanation of interface and features
The user interface for the rendering application is shown above. The main tool bar is shown (A) with an expanded view as shown. This tool bar is used to control the display of the control and display windows.(A) shows a tool bar control that specifies the operation to be completed on a selected window, all possible functions are shown all the time, but only enabled when the relevant window is selected. The options include selections such as full dataset position or wire frame position of the 3D view as shown in (C). The 3D visualisation window is shown in (C), this window is the 3D rendered view and is used for the interactive rotation of the dataset; functionality is also included to allow for the rendering to be zoomed by the means of linear interpolation. The visualisation window as with all display windows have a context menu which can be invoked by pressing the right mouse button, this context menu presents options to export the image in various different file formats and to change the contrast, brightness and gamma of the image. The orthogonal slice view is shown in (D), the combination of 3 windows display x-y, x-z and y-z orthogonal views of the dataset, by clicking on any of the three windows the other two windows will update, as with the rendered image window linear interpolation and a context sensitive window is also provided. The histogram of the image is shown in (E), this dialog has dual functionality in that it provides the user with information related to the histogram of the loaded datasets, and provides functionality to allow for thresholds to be set for maximum and minimum point projections or the opacity to be changed, dependent on the rendering mode selected. Functionality is provided to zoom in on ranges of the displayed histogram and to select histograms for any selected sub volume of interest defined. The colour palette editor as shown in (F) provides the functionality to specify, load and save palettes, an interactive method is provided for the selection of colours to be included in the palette, the interpolation between selected colours and a selection of pre-defined palette is provided. The 3D control dialog shown in (G) provides the selection of rendering modes; the azimuth, rotation and roll can be specified accurately using this dialog, as can the application of simple Voxel lighting methods.
