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.
It is mainly a 3D model creation and editing software. In it, you can create a model from scratch and also import 3D models of STL, OBJ, AMF, PLY, 3MF, etc. To create and edit 3D models, it comes with various designing and modeling tools like Selection Tools, Editing Tools, Sculpt Tools, Stamp Tools, Shader Tools, etc. Meshmixer is a pretty simple 3D modeling software developed by Autodesk, created to help users manipulate, add to, splice, and merge 3D models with ease. Put simply, it's like Adobe Photoshop for 3D models or, as the software's website puts it, a 'Swiss Army Knife' for 3D meshes.
CTVox® 3D Micro-CT Volume Rendering
Editing motion capture data is one of many perks this free 3D design software has to offer. The puppeteer tool displays different poses as a node in a grid allowing users to animate their model by shifting their mouse between these nodes. In addition to the titan known as Maya, Autodesk also offers Mudbox. It's one of the easiest 3D modeling software packages on offer, but it's more aligned to editing and sculpting 3D models using a simple, intuitive and tactile toolset than it is able in doing more complex 3D tasks.
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. Apple store app for macbook. 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
