### Working with Structured 3D Data
This section includes [vtkImageData](http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkImageData.html) [vtkStructuredGrid](http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredGrid.html) and [vtkRectilinearGrid](http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkRectilinearGrid.html).

"ImageData" is not the traditional "flat, 2D image" you are used to. It is a special VTK data structure in the collection of 3D data structures provided by VTK. [Here is an overview of these data structures](http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Tutorials/3DDataTypes). Image data can represent at typical 2D image, but also, a 3D volume.

## RenderMan
RenderMan is a high quality rendering system created by [Pixar](https://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman). VTK can export RenderMan RIB files for rendering by [prman](http://renderman.pixar.com/view/renderman-prman-the-rispec-and-renderman-studio). In the spring of 2015, Pixar released a [non-commercial version](http://renderman.pixar.com/view/PR-NCR) of its RenderMan products.

## Remote Modules
Remote modules are user contributed code that is not distributed with VTK. A description of a remote module and the location of its repository is listed in the VTK/Remote directory with the extension .remote.cmake. Once enabled, a remote module is treated like any other VTK module. Each of the remote module examples describes how to enable the example. More information about remote modules is [here](http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Remote_Modules).
