The thickness of your volume is 29*0.006 = 0.174, so you can try a sample spacing of 1.74e-04:</div><div><br></div><div>mapper-><wbr>AutoAdjustSampleDistancesOff()<wbr>;</div><div>mapper->SetSampleDistance(1.<wbr>74e-04);</div><div><br></div><div>If the two volumes look the same when you use a small sample distance, then the difference you were seeing was probably just due to discretization.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah, good idea. However, if I set the opacity unit distance to such a small value, both volumes appear as completely opaque red. This makes sense to me, since with so many accumulations, the opacity value in my opacity function (0.1) will add up very quickly..<br><br></div><div>If I, just as a test, try to "compensate" by using 0.001 instead of 0.1 in my opacity function, the volumes appear non-opaque as expected, but again there's a discrepancy between the small-spaced and large-spaced volume (shown in attached screenshot).<br><br></div><div>Elvis<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div> - David</div></font></span><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 6:45 AM, Elvis Stansvik <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elvis.stansvik@orexplore.com" target="_blank">elvis.stansvik@orexplore.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br>The following example shows a 30x30x30 volume rendered, and next to it a downscaled version of it (but using an identical opacity/transfer function).
