If you are looking for a voxel based 3D render amd measure package - look
at Vaytek's Voxblast.  In addition, if you will need basic 2D image
processing tools, this package has been fairly tightly integrated with our
company's Image-Pro Plus.

>Hi - Does anyone have recommendations for a good 3D imaging software
package that can run on a Pentium based system? We would like to be able to
manipulate stacks of 2D images (say 100-200 images at 1024 x 1024
resolution). We would like to use the software package to make some 3D
measurements, but we are most interested in that it gives good 3D renderings
of the data. As added features, it would nice to be able to do full
rotations amd stereo pairs.
>     We have not purchased the Pentium system yet, and so we are open to
getting a motherboard with dual or quad processors - or to getting
accelerator cards.
>     Does anyone have any comments on the Visilog program (from Noesis up
in Canada)? It looks like a nice program, and it also can run with a Matrox
accelerator card to really speed it up. However, they said their 3D software
isn't "voxel" yet. Is this a problem?
>    Thanks very much for any input!
