Purpose

The VoxelizeCSO module allows to voxelize CSO contours into a reference volume.

It utilizes the OpenVDB library.

For most use cases, the module CSOVoxelizeContours is a fast alternative to this module.

This module offers features that CSOVoxelizeContours does not provide, such as distance to the surface and improved anti-aliasing. Conversely, CSOVoxelizeContours offers several features that this module lacks.

Anti-aliasing: Bool	Update: Trigger
Bandwidth: Double
Clear: Trigger
Distance Mode: Enum
Fill Inside: Bool
Mode: Enum
Surface: Bool
Surface Thickness: Float

Visible Fields

Update

name: update, type: Trigger

If pressed, the output is updated.

Clear

name: clear, type: Trigger

If pressed, the output is cleared.

Mode

name: mode, type: Enum, default: Surface

Defines the mode.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Distance	Distance	The positive distance to the contours is recorded. The distance image is only as thick as specified by the Bandwidth field. If filling is enabled, the interior distance is set to 0.
Surface	Surface	The output image displays the surface and filling in a range from 0 to 255.

Distance Mode

name: distanceMode, type: Enum, default: VoxelDistance

Defines whether the distance calculation is performed in voxel space or world space.

Values:

Title	Name
World Distance	WorldDistance
Voxel Distance	VoxelDistance

Surface

name: surface, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the surface/contour output is enabled.

Surface Thickness

name: surfaceThickness, type: Float, default: 1

Sets the thickness of the surface in voxel or millimeters, depending on Distance Mode.

Fill Inside

name: fillInside, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the inside of contours is filled.

Anti-aliasing

name: antiAliasing, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, anti-aliasing is enabled.

Bandwidth

name: bandwidth, type: Double, default: 3, minimum: 1

Sets the bandwidth for Distance Mode and defines the bandwidth of the narrow band distance image.
