  2mm labelmap volume loaded in workflow

• 

  Bone and Skin surfaces extracted from 2mm labelmap volume

• 

  Rigging

• 

  Volume Skinning

Parameters

Advanced properties

Advanced Workflow: Volume Render Labelmap: Select the volume/labelmap you want to render. The checkbox next to labelmap controls whether the rendering is done. Label(s): Specify the label(s) that will be rendered. Go To Volume Rendering: Opens the Volume Renderer menu. Read here the documentation on this module. Advanced properties panel

1) Adjust Labelmap

A) Labelmap Simple workflow Volume: Select the volume/labelmap that you want to reposition. Read here the instructions to load data into Bender. Colors: Select the color transfer function to apply to the volume . It will The transfer function is used to Apply: Set the color transfer function to the volume. LPS<->RAS: Apply a (-1,-1, 1) transform to the volume. It can be used to apply the same coordinate system used by Bender to the volume. The "R,L,A,P,S,I" letters on the purple box in the 3D view represent the orientations "Right, Left, Anterior, Posterior, Superior, Inferior". Advanced workflow Go To Volumes: Go to the Volumes module to read volume information (such as its size, origin, spacing, scalar type, range...) and display properties (window/level, threshold, interpolation...)
