3D viewer movie

[Thomas Boudier]

Hi,

I cannot figure out how to make a nice movie with ImageJ 3D viewer, the
start animation does not seem to work (I do not see any stop animation
button), and the start animation makes the volume turn around the border
of the object not from its center (and in the preference it is said to
be the center of the stack); do I miss something ? thanks.

Thomas

you can try the ImageSurfer software from the link at ImageJ website.
It's much better than the 3D viewer.

Dear Thomas,

I run imageJ 1.42j and all the needed commands are present in the 3D
viewer menu under "view". Unfortunatly on my machine when I first hit
start animation and then start recording, imageJ gets frozen ...
I run aswell Fiji, there you have the last version of the 3D viewer, it
works fine and the commands are present in the 3D viewer window under
"view".

Hope this helps,

Fabrice.

PS : for 3D rendering I usually convert my files to .spi, with spider
writer and then process them with UCSF Chimera...

As Fabrice said, you have to first click on 'Start animation', and then
'Start recording'. The wrong rotation center was a bug, which I just
fixed (hopefully ;-). I uploaded the repaired viewer, if you'd like to
give it a try. Please let me know...

The problem on your machine is probably that your graphics setup does
not support offscreen rendering. You can get around that by changing
ImageJ's configuration file. This is either the run script in case
you're using Linux or ImageJ.cfg on a Windows machine. Modify the java
call to include another variable: This should look similar to the
following example:

before:
java -Xmx512m -jar ij.jar

after:
java -Xmx512m -Dj3d.noOffScreen=true -jar ij.jar



Best wishes,

[Thomas Boudier]

Hi,

Thanks a lot ! This is what I wanted. There is just a duplicate command
"Mesh_Maker" appearing. Humm there is also something I like a lot from
another 3d software (Voxx not to mention it ;-) ) it's the "Max
Intensity" rendered mode that is quite useful in fluo for instance. Do
you have an idea if this could be implemented in 3D viewer, is it a
opengl option or do you need to compute it ? Thanks.

cheers,

thomas

Dear all, I would like to create my own rotational animation in  
ImageJ 3D-viewer. This works fine on mac os X, but does not work in  
XP: the stop recording button is missing and if I click start  
recording, followed by manually moving the scene nothing happens.  
What am I doing wrong in the XP version?

Best wishes

Probably, you have an older version of the 3D viewer installed on your
mac. I disabled free-hand recording in newer versions, because it always
led to very unsmooth animations. The way to do recordings at the moment
is to first hit 'Start Animation' and then 'Start Recording' (as pointed
out earlier in this thread). After a full 360 degree rotation the
recording will stop automatically (therefore there's no need for a stop
recording button any more), and the stack with the frames shows up.

If you need freehand recordings, I will see that I can include it again
in the viewer.

Best wishes,
Bene

[Jos Broers]

Dear Benjamin, I think the free-hand recording option was very nice.  
Sometimes I not only want to rotate an object but also move it up or  
down simultaneously. This option gave me the opportunity to do so at  
will. So if it would be possible to restore this, please ....

Best wishes

Jos

[Jos Broers]

Dear all/Benjamin, thank you for restoring this freehand  
possibility.  However, when I installed the new file I got the  
following error at startup of imageJ:
plugin configuration error: .../imageJ/plugins/ImageJ_3d_viewer.jar
Duplicate command: "Mesh Maker', customnode.Mesh-Maker.

Is there a way to remove this duplicate command?

I searched for files with this name but could not find them.
Next, when I open the 3d viewer (which does seem to start up) I only  
get a black screen.

I use imageJ 1.43I on an Emac (mac os X.4). The old plugin (July  
2008) still works without error warnings when I replace the files.

Best wishes and thanks in advance,

Jos

Funny, you address Benjamin, but you wrote to the list without Cc:ing him
directly.  Just a word of caution: some of us receive 100+ mails a day, me
for example.  It is very easy for me to miss a mail that is not addressed
to me.

This means that there is another .jar that contains this menu, nothing to
worry about if you do not use Mesh Maker yourself.

Yes, remove the other .jar ;-)

Oh?  Where can I get it?  I only run 1.42l.

I am having the same problem running the latest OSX on an Intel Mac.  
I removed all plugins except 3D viewer and got the same error

Dear all, sorry that I apparently did not make my problem clear  
enough. The imageJ 3D viewer plugin is not working, possibly due to  
the error mentioned.
Should I open all my .jar files to find the duplicate command and  
remove it? How do I recreate a .jar file from the unpacked folder?

Thanks for your help,

Jos

Do you have VIB_.jar?  AFAIR there is a 3D viewer in there, which could
overlay the new 3D viewer.

The

   Plugin configuration error: .../ImageJ_3d_viewer.jar
     Duplicate command: "Mesh Maker', customnode.Mesh-Maker.

error message is due to a bug in ImageJ that is fixed in the 1.42m
daily build. You can upgrade using the Help>Update ImageJ command and
selecting "daily build" in the drop down menu.

No I don't.  What is it and where should it be?  Dave

Hi everyone,

Duplicate command: "Mesh Maker', customnode.Mesh-Maker.

In this case, it sounds like there are not actually any duplicate copies of
anything. Nonetheless, you can search your plugins folder for duplicates on
Mac OS X (or Linux) using bash voodoo magic from Terminal:

cd /Applications/ImageJ/plugins
PLUGIN=Mesh ; find . -name "*$PLUGIN*.class" && find . -name '*.jar' -exec
sh -c 'jar tf $1 | sed "s*^*$1: *"' {} {} \; | grep $PLUGIN

Replace the "PLUGIN=Mesh" with whatever you are looking for, and it will
search for class files (including inside jar archives) containing that
substring.

Hopefully someone will find this useful.

Dear all,
Wayne,  thanks very much for your fast solution. The error is fixed  
also on my system.
Unfortunately the plugin is still not running. Any suggestions?

Dear all,
After I installed the 3D viewer, I got an error information "Unable to
create DirectX D3D context. Neither hardware and software renderer are
available.."
My system is WinXP sp2, can somebody explain what happens with my
computer? I have installed the 3DJava, what else should I install?

Thanks in advance.

Interesting.  I have had the same problem on my toshiba laptop, but
not on two different desktops.  Seems to have something to do with
DirectX, but I can't figure it out. --

Same for me.  I no longer get the error, but when I run a rendering, I  
end up with a black screen, with the tool bar reading a "loading Z  
axis".  If I put up the coordinate system, I can see the red axes and  
rotate them, but not zoom them.  Surface render doesn't work either.
