<div>Actually both. However, rendering
disjoint volumes is most needed in our application. I'll try the
"back to front" rendering option. Thanks.<br>

<div>Do you mean that the volumes overlap in 3D space,
or just overlap in image space? If the volumes overlap
in image space (two disjoint volumes where sometimes
one is in front of the other) VTK does render this
correctly (you need to turn back to front rendering on
in the culler in the renderer). It is true that VTK
does not correctly handle volumes that overlap in 3D
space, unless they are aligned and part of the same
volume (multiple components in one vtkImageData).</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">There were 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>
