How to perform cinematic rendering of dental CBCT dataset.

Support
1

I want to create a cinematic rendering of a dental CBCT scan created with Carestream Dental’s CS9600 unit. The images are native DICOM. I have tried VolView with and without the FilesManager. Nothing works. Please let me know a workaround as soon as possible so that I can compare a sample image into a book chapter to illustrate the value of this technology over standard Virtual Rendering. PS. I am a technical novice, not familiar with programming. Thank you,

Hi Martin, what happens when it fails to load? Is there an error? Additionally, how large is your dataset?

I suspect the 3D rendering for the 0.99GB dataset is crashing from memory usage. What GPU do you have/how much VRAM does it have?

The error with the FilesManager.xml can be ignored, since it won’t impact the loading of the rest of the dataset.
