I'm not quite sure but I think freesurfer surface has some strict format that may be difficult to covert to from an external mesh. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

As to freeview, the stable release is not the latest version.

Hello Dr. Wang,

Thanks for your kind reply. Can freesurfer convert .vtk files to freesurfer format ? I need to take a .vtk mesh and work it backward to volumetric data using freesurfer. Do you think thats possible ?

Please let me know.

Is freeviewer in the latest version of freesurfer ??

Thanks a lot for the help

Sincerely

Ri

Hi,

What program in freesurfer do you want to load .vtk surface with? I can potentially add .vtk file support for freeview. It will only be pure visualization, though. Do you need to do anything with the surface?
