Hi,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your reply. It seems that I would have to
deal with the input data once again.<br>
<br>
Is there a way for the surface to be modified in such way that you
have stated? Would you suggested starting to look at vtk/CGAL codes
or something similar?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Quang <br>

<div>First before answering your question, let me alert you to an
easier way to load your data into ParaView. First, name your
files with numbers just before the extension (e.g.
left_ventricle_00.stl, left_ventricle_01.stl,
left_ventricle_02.stl, etc.). Then just load this file series as
one unit (they will be grouped in the ParaView file browser) and
ParaView will automatically animate them; no need to add them
manually with the Animation View.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now the bad news. I don't think the Temporal Interpolator is
going to work with your data. The Temporal Interpolator needs a
way to register where a point in one time step goes to in the
next time step. It does this in a very simplistic way by
assuming the topology is consistent across time steps. That is,
each data set has the exact same triangles listed in the same
order connected the same way but at different positions. The
surface from your segmentation is surely not of this nature.</div>

1) What file format are the 10 data sets in?
<div>2) do all meshes have the same number of points and
cells and do the come in the same order in every
timstep? temporal interpolation requires a 1:1
correspondence so that it knows what to interpolate
between.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a group of 10 data sets of the left ventricle
at different cardiac phases. They have been 3D
reconstructed using segmentation method. Now I am
trying to use ParaView to see the dynamic changes
over different cardiac phases.<br>
<br>
I have been able to get to the View -> Animation
mode and add each 3D data at different time, but
they only show me a jump from one data to another,
rather than 'deforming' into another. I have done
some searches on the internet and found someone
suggesting the use of 'Temporal Interpolator' but
failed to utilise it.<br>
<br>
Would anyone be kind enough to give me some advices
on this, please?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Quang<br>
