3D parametric graph rendering resolution time

[zak9001]

Hi 

I am currently attempting to render a 3D volume consisting of 2D images. the resolution of the images are 500x500 pixels and i attempted the 3D parametric graph to do this. I found that when i attempted to this the VI would lag because the 3D parametric graph takes a while to render the volume and after the VI has completed  on the front panel with the rendered graph, it is still laggy as i attempt to rotate to a new position. 

I made a dummy VI to render a 3D volume with 100x100 pixels and it seems to render smoothly and fast as i manipulate the volume via rotation but as i increase the image size upto 500x500 pixels the rendering times increase drastically. The increase in memory via task manager only shows a increase in memory by 5%.  I was wondering if there is a way to increase the rendering speed of the 3D parametric graph or what is limiting the rendering time ?? 

please see attached code and dummy volume which shows the code works fine with 100 x 100 pixel resolution

There's no code attached.

I've had good results with a raw 3D picture control.

You can make it do exactly what you want, but on the down side, you have to make it do exactly what you want.

From 100X100 to 500X500 is a 25X increase. It's not a small step...

Hi 

I found my solution using the medical imaging vi which came as part of the biomedical toolkit

Thanks
