Hello Everyone.  
I wanted to automate the ‘create Dicom files’ from vol files. The conversion pipeline should be like the user just needs to import the vol files .

1. It passes through slicer 3d. it gives the Dicom files.
2. The Dicom files go through a Unity plugin for an asset file creation.

The two steps need to be condensed to one. I wanted to know how the automation of the first step can be done. Do I need to use python? Or, can it be done in C# if possible?

No C# in Slicer, just Python or C++. For what you describe I’d suggest Python.
