[IDV #SJK-116567]: Error when generating volume rendering
- Subject: [IDV #SJK-116567]: Error when generating volume rendering
- Date: Fri, 01 May 2015 10:50:47 -0600
Norhakim,
I see the visualization artifacts you refer to under *some* but not all
angles. I think it has something to do with the sparseness of your data (both
the amount of data and the limited data value range). I have searched the
archive to see if this has come up before, but I have not found anything. You
may wish to experiment with the settings (including 3D settings) under the View
-> Properties menu items or other various rendering settings. My own
experimentation did not reveal any improvements though I may have missed
something.
Best,
Unidata IDV Support
