    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    did you try shape based interpolation? It's not just an option in
    ParaView but you would have to implement it e.g. using ITK as a
    preprocessing step.<br>

      type="cite">Hi all,
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I have figured out how to create a surface from a file (using
        contour). &nbsp;However, the surface ends up looking like a step
        function, whereby the transitions are not smooth. &nbsp;I assume this
        is because the file used to create the surface has a voxel
        resolution that is coarse enough for these transitions are
        obvious. &nbsp;However, I'd like to smooth the surface in some way,
        to eliminate the obvious step transitions. &nbsp;I've tried the
        smooth function, but that has minimal effect on my image. &nbsp;I've
        also tried setting "compute normals" on the contour filter.
        &nbsp;This does smooth the edges, but it doesn't eliminate the
        obvious steps along the surface. &nbsp;Is there any way to smooth the
        surface even more, perhaps by iterations of eroding and
        dilating?</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>Any suggestions would be appreciated!</div>
