The user interface of VGSTUDIO is designed to simplify the visualization of your CT data in 2D and 3D
VGSTUDIO is the ideal choice for visual quality inspection in industrial applications, e.g., in the electronics industry, but also
for the visualization of data in fields of academic research such as archaeology, geology, and life sciences.
VGSTUDIO covers the entire workflow, from the precise reconstruction * of three-dimensional volume data sets using the
images taken by your CT scanner to visualization (in 3D and 2D) and the creation of impressive animations.
A sample of the features in VGSTUDIO
Visualization Bookmarks
> 3D visualization of even very large CT data sets— > Save 3D and 2D views, clippings, selected
with almost no limit on data volume coordinate systems, and rendering settings
> Real-time ray tracing for a photo-realistic look as bookmarks.
> Combined visualization of voxel and polygon data, > Switch between bookmarks and between different
including textured meshes views within your project easily with one click.
> Arbitrary orientation of 2D slices
> 2D slice rotation view around a customizable axis Data Set Alignment
> Gray-value classification of a data set
> A wide variety of 3D clipping options > Simple 3-2-1 registration
> Unrolling of objects or leveling of freeform surfaces in a > Simple registration
