Re: Controlling a parameter live via slider through scripting

2013-11-06 Thread Benjamin Paschke
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I think it's because
you are inspecting the PPG in siModal mode.
siModal will give you a box to say OK or Cancel, but yes, changes are
not reflected live in the scene. This is what modal means.

 Hi list,

 My script generates a bevel operator on an object. I then want a PPG
 to pop up that allows the user to change certain parameters of the
 bevel operator. These parameters should update whenever the values in
 the PPG are changed. However, they only update after the PPG is closed
 via OK. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

 Script is roughly as follows:

 # Lots of stuff after which a bevel operator (op) is generated
 MyPSet = A.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty(CustomProperty, False,
 Bevel_Options)
 MyLayout = MyPSet.PPGLayout
 MyPSet.AddParameter3(PBevelRatio, c.siFloat, 10, 0.01, 100)
 MySlider = MyLayout.AddItem(PBevelRatio, Ratio, c.siControlNumber)

 A.InspectObj(MyPSet, , Choose Bevel Options, c.siModal, False)

 op.Parameters(ratio).Value = MyPSet.Parameters(PBevelRatio).Value


 Thank you
 Christian

Re: Ultra sound or MRI scan formats to common 3D formats?

2013-04-22 Thread Benjamin Paschke

Have a look at DeVIDE http://graphics.tudelft.nl/Projects/DeVIDE
It uses, among other libraries, VTK for visualisation and processing.
I managed to convert custom-made slices into MRI type formats using this.
From memory, you can make processing graphs with a node editor, and I'm 
pretty sure you could use these graphs to then process stuff from the 
commandline, but I could be wrong.


Good luck!

Hi Folks,

Just putting this out there in case anyone has done this thing before - Does
anyone know how/tried to turn any ultra sound scan file types or MRI data
into something remotely 3D - and in a format that is 3D package friendly?

I am still digging but it appears the majority of scan formats are 2D
sections/plans not *really* 3D?

I've found this link http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/dicom/   This
is quite a common scan data format but again on skimming appears to be only
2D/sectional.

Useful nuggets would be:

scan file formats that are definitely 3D
any small apps/programs that can change these into .stl .vrml .obj or even
.dxf

any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

D.
