===Generate TIF (or others) from 3D rendered volume===

This replaces uct_movie that operated on the alpha systems. UCT_3D can be called in batch mode.

A pdf describing this tool is located here: [[Media:UCT_RAY V4.0-1.pdf]] 

To interactively declare the desired settings:
<pre>
$ uct_3d_batch
?CT RAY_BATCH V4.0-1

UCT_R: Application initialized
Filename             []: 
Print-Filename       [SYS$SCRATCH:TEMP_3D.PS]: 
Ambient   (0.0..1.0) [0.200]: 
Shadows        (0/1) [1]: 
Size       (1..1024) [1024]: 
Elevation  (-90..90) [30]: 
Rotation (-180..180) [35]: 
Copies        (0..9) [1]: 

</pre>

To apply a saved set of settings, a setup-file can be created by running uct_3d in interactive mode. Select "Presets" from the toolbar and save the settings you desire (e.g. elevation 90, rotation 0).

<pre>
$ uct_3d_batch setup-file [data-file printfile]

Examples:

$uct_3d_batch uu:3d_preset_test.dat myaimfile.aim sys$scratch: x.ps
$uct_3d_batch uu:3d_preset_test.dat myaimfile.aim sys$scratch: x.tif

</pre>

You can also add/remove patient name, etc, in <code>options -> object/display properties</code>. Make sure you render your image before you save your preset!

To automatically generate tifs for many files, a script was created to replace PRINT_3D.COM
The script is currently stored in the xtremect2 com directory.

<pre>
@COM:PRINT_REG_TIF.COM

 Generates a 3D image from a segmented file.  

 The outputs include:
  - two 3D renderings (TIF)

 Use full pathnames for the segmented AIM.

 P1 - Segmented AIM

 Usage:
 @COM:PRINT_REG_TIF.COM DISK2:[MICROCT.DATA.00000379.00001376]C0001234_SEG.AIM
</pre>

This script can be modified to  use a custom preset file.
