Hi Sven,

As far as I know we are *currently* using the vtkSmartVolumeMapper [1]. I think 
this isn’t the case for the last release 2016.11. Therefore, please give us 
more information of your setting/configuration in the future. In the former 
case, the shading is set through the vtkVolumeProperty [2] and as far as I can 
see we are using this to pass some shading value from respective MITK 
properties, see [3].

Subject: [mitk-users] Volume Rendering DICOM-Dataset


Hello MITK users,



I am working on a MITK plugin and use the Volume Visualization plugin to render 
a 3d DICOM-Dataset in a preprocessing step. After rendering the DICOM-Dataset I 
want to change the lightning in the scene using my plugin. The scene should 
contain one positonal light only.



My problem is that the lightsource seems to be a nonpositional for the 
DICOM-Dataset. To check the light settings I added a vtkPlanesource to the 
scene. The result is that the light behaves the way I supposed (influence of 
the attenuation value and cone angel are reconizable). In the same scene with 
the DICOM-Dataset only changes of the lightning direction lead to a different 
lightning. The attenuation value and cone angel have no influence on the 
lighning of DICOM-Dataset. I also changed the volume rendering properities of 
the datanode containing the DICOM-Datatset and set the ambient lightning to 
zero. So when I turn off the light the DICOM-Dataset is completly dark, which 
proves that it is the only lightsource in the scene (also reconizable on the 
vtkPlanesource where some parts are not lighted).



The question: How is it possible to use positional lighning during the volume 
visualization of a DICOM-Dataset?



Thanks for your help!



Sven
