Working with real use-cases is always more fun than using the wavelet or other sample data we have. Also, if you can share some screen captures, that would be great (if possible).

it crates these polygonal slices but I would imaging that

a few posts in the past about this topic. The conclusion
seemed to be that VTK didn't support multi-volume rendering
in terms of proper visibility sorting/blending. I'm not sure
it is still true.<br>
<br>
I've done a test where two partially overlapped volumes are
used. I've found that only the texture mapping mapper can
render them correctly. All the other mappers (GPU based or
ray casting) always have one volume occlude the other one no
matter what direction the camera is viewing.<br>
<br>
Is vtkImageOcclusionSpectrum designed for handling multiple
volume rendering? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.<br>
