<p>Thanks for the heads up, that sounds great. I am currently
working on another project at the moment, but when I am back on
our volume rendering, I will give it a go. Is it just a case of
setting the relevant mode on vtkSmartVolumeMapper (I noticed the
new setting - OSPRayRenderMode), or is there more to it?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for all the hard work,</p>
<p>Ian Lindsay<br>

It will be a few months probably. First we have to expose

for the quick reply - I suspected as much.<br>
<br>
It was more of a case of seeing that an easy way
of turning shadows on was<br>
available and of trying it out to see what it
looked like to determine<br>
whether it was something we could offer our
customers as an option (and it<br>
looks good at shows!).<br>
<br>
I take your point that it probably makes the
visualisation more 'busy' and<br>
may hide areas in shade that would otherwise be
seen. I was interested in<br>
whether a subtle shadow made depth perception a
bit easier.<br>
<br>
>From a quick google, examples of renders of
medical data with shadows on are<br>
few and far between. This is a fairly nice
example:<br>

. This may well<br>
be due to quite a lot of them being based on VTK
though!<br>
