Bruker’s 3D visualization software offers 3D model creation, viewing, intuitive manipulation, and flexible control of Micro-CT scans, plus a versatile movie-maker.  It has never been easier to create images and videos  from your micro-CT data to add to your presentations and posters.

CTVox® 3D Micro-CT Volume Rendering

The “CTVox” is the easiest way to create 3D models from micro-CT datasets.   Simply open one of the micro-CT slices in the program and the software does the rest.  A 3D model is created based on the gray scale values of the original micro-CT data.    Adjustments can be made to the grayscale values, colors and shadows can be created, different backgrounds can be loaded, cutaways and numerous other refinements.

A simple to use but powerful video creation tool uses keyframes to automate the recording of single still images or entire movies.  Complete with fading in / out, camera adjustments, variable lighting and more.  Click here for our instructional videos on the operation of CTVox.

• 3D navigation controls allows manipulating both object and camera
• A flexible clipping tool allows producing cut-away views
• Three different rendering modes are supported (volume render, maximum intensity projection = MIP, attenuation maps)
• Transfer Function Editor is used to control appearance of the rendering
• Background selection, including custom scenery
• A “flight recorder” for fast creation of “fly around” and “fly through” animations based on the selection of several key frames with automatic interpolation in between
• Imaging possibilities include 3D stereo viewing

CTVol® Micro-CT Surface Rendering Software

CT-Vol displays 3D surface rendered micro-CT models created in CTan®.  Multiple 3D models can be loaded into the software providing viewing, intuitive manipulation and flexible control of 3D-model texture and transparency, plus a versatile moviemaker. CT-Volume loads the triangulated models created in CT-Analyzer. A virtual 3D viewing environment is created by the user that allows:

• Selection of background including scenery
• Moving and rotation of single or multiple models, together or separately
• Advanced control of object texture, color, lighting and transparency
• Ability to view inside models by cutting away a part or making a part transparent
• A “flight recorder” for flexible and fast creation of “movies” for animated presentation of your scanned object in a 3D virtual environment by automatic interpolation between several selected keyframes.
• Stereo imaging using red-green or red-cyan glasses
