# Voxelization

Voxelization is the conversion of geometric mesh data into image data. This means you will take a mesh that represents a 3D geometry, and you will get a 3D image out.

Start by opening you mesh of choice (or select Demo>Basic>Mesh Demo)

![](/files/-MNJgVRsGW8LvI74DIo8)

Run the "Mesh to Image" command

![](/files/-MNJgVRtgiJh4UBkTTu9)

You will be presented with a dialog where you tune the dimensions of your output image and can select the mesh to process (if there are multiple meshes in your scene). Note that the choice of image dimensions can have a significant impact. If you choose a size that is too small, then there is a chance that your mesh will not be "water tight," meaning that there may be gaps in the surface. On the other hand, big images can be hard to deal with.

Your resulting image will be opened as a new image within imagej

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scenery.graphics/sciview/image-analysis/voxelization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
