[vtkusers] Problems in rendering volume with vtkOpenVR

[Guilherme Alcarde Gallo]

I have tested what you suggested with the updated OpenVR remote module and deactivated the MultiSampling on the RenderWindow.
It worked like a charm!

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Guilherme

I pushed a fix to the OpenVR remote module. You will need to make sure you set MultiSamples(0) on your renderwindow before you render as the issue involved reading from a multisampled buffer.  I did test with a simple Volume Rendering example and it worked. There did seem to be a clipping/bbox issue with the volume when I adjusted it's position and orientation but I suspect that is a bug in the volume rendering code.

Thanks
Ken

I have not tested volume rendering with vtkOpenVR but ... I can't think of any reason it would not work. I suspect there is maybe a some sort of issue with the volume renderer copying the frame back into (or out of) the frame buffer. I suspect if you can find the issue the fix will be pretty easy. If I get a chance I'll try giving it a shot.

Hello all!

I have succeeded in building VTK with vtkOpenVR remote module and running a simple Cone example in my OSVR HMD.
But when I’ve attempted to run the volume rendering example "GPURenderDemo", I got a black screen and a lot of repetitive errors:
ERROR: In
C:\VTK-master\Rendering\OpenGL2\vtkTextureObject.cxx,
line 2035
vtkTextureObject (0000000BE6462060): failed at glCopyTexImage2D 6402 1 OpenGL errors detected
  0 : (1282) Invalid operation

Also, I have tried to run the CPU-based volume rendering example “FixedPointVolumeRayCastMapperCT”.
Although the performance is poor, it works, since the texture successfully appears in the HMD and its tracking is integrated with the WindowInteractor.

My colleague has made an investigation about this issue comparing both examples, he concluded that the problem is related with the “SmartVolumeMapper” class.

So I would like to ask a few questions:

1)      Does the remote module vtkOpenVR has support for volume rendering?
2a) If it does, what I'm doing wrong? Is there any problem with SmartVolumeMapper implementation for running vtkOpenVr applications?
2b) If it don’t, how I can add volume rendering support for vtkOpenVR? (I and my team are willing to do this)

Thank you very much!
Guilherme
