Simon:<br><br>You don't need to use depth peeling. The bounds of your volumes don't overlap. Just set the culler's sorting mode to back to front (default is none) and everything should work out of the box... something like :<br>
<br>renderer->GetCullers()->GetLastItem()->SetSortingStyleToBackToFront();<br>renderer->AddVolume(vol1);<br>renderer->AddVolume(vol2);<br><br>--<br>karthik<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 5:49 PM, Simon Adler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vtk@cg-effects.de">vtk@cg-effects.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
how can i change the order in which volumes are rendered. Or more in<br>
general - how can i change the order objects are rendered (not cells<br>
within objects).<br>
<br>
Concrete Problem:<br>
I have to Volumerenderings close to each other but not overlapping. I<br>
do not want to use Depth peeling, due to performance reasons. I just<br>
want to change the order how the are rendered depening on the current<br>
camera position.<br>
<br>
I tried...<br>
... to sort the vtkVolumeCollection got from the renderer, but this<br>
has no effect.<br>
<br>
My renderer is a vtkOpenGLRenderer. Volumes are represented by<br>
vtkSmartVolumeMapper.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice<br>
<br>
