Thank you. I’m working on creating a minimal example that reproduces the issue.

Andras,

Do you have a sample VTK program that can re-create this? that would be very useful.

Hi Sankhesh,

In recent VTK versions (VTK9, OpenGL2 backend) there seems to quite distracting volume rendering artifact at the volume edge if there are opaque voxels at the volume edge and there are clipping planes outside the volume (which is unavoidable if you have oblique clipping planes).

The problem did not occur a few months ago, then cropping was broken for a while, and after it was fixed we started noticing this issue. See more information and sample data here: https://issues.slicer.org/view.php?id=4548<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fissues.slicer.org%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D4548&data=02%7C01%7Classo%40queensu.ca%7Cd467aa38ce5245f08f1908d5b5c85ea2%7Cd61ecb3b38b142d582c4efb2838b925c%7C1%7C0%7C636614794540003463&sdata=CYp4dDM3R5cFaiGUN5n6OyZNkT47QQ9EWzKUyHLLwD4%3D&reserved=0>

It would be great if you could look into this.
Thanks a lot,
Andras

Hi Elvis,

Haven’t had a chance to look at vtkMultiVolume in depth yet.
I’ll take a look at it in downtime to see if the issue is relatively simple.

Thanks,
Sankhesh

Update: When trying with a minimal test case, it seems I'm not able to
reproduce this particular issue with SetPosition, so I'll have to go
back to my code to see what I possibly did wrong there.
