Re: requests for info on 3D software.

You can use NIH-Image to generate z-projections, stereo rotation series,
ray projection 360 degree rotations, red/green stereos, animate
Z-series, etc. This can be done with images generated from a variety of
confocals and imported directly into NIH-Image using dedicated macros.
The methods for doing this are all described in a manual that I posted
at the website listed below (http:/www-cajal.ucsd.edu). It is also
available from the NIH Image web site.

In addition, for generaating images of volume renderings, download the
latest version of MacVol 1.3. Based on the LeVoy (Stanford) library of
superfast renderings, this allows rotation, change in lighting, scaling,
etc. and produces a new images in one second or less. If you modify
opacity, then it may require an additional 20 seconds. The LeVoy library
was originally written for an SGI, but was ported to a Mac by Joe Strout
of UCSD. It is Freeware, as is NIH-Image.
