Display 3D image file

jk_mk

Hi,

I want to create an application in which I want to display a 3D image. I have tried successful in a 2D image, using setPixmap().Does anybody know what I should use respectively in a 3D image display? Any help would be very useful.

Thanks in advance

Do you refer to a 3D model? like in 3D software like maya? or what exactly are you trying to do? cause a 3D image isn't the same as a model..

I have a 3D medical image (consisted of an .hdr file and an .img.gz file).And I want to display this 3D image, but I do not really know the tools that I must use to make it happen

Thanks for your response

As it looks you need to find out first what kind of 3d format your picture has.
"List of 3d graphic formats":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats#3D_graphics
This list is already quite lengthy.
Furthermore, you do not have to have necessarily your files in a special 3d format. Those files may contain plain 2d images, but they are collocated by a software for 3d view. The file extension ".img.gz" points towards plain image files which are compressed with a standard zip program.
Certainly you need to find which program has produced the files in order to get somewhere some file description.

There is a 3D viewer demo available in your Qt installation. But as koahning states: you need to know what you are dealing with exactly.
