I’ve been able to recreate the Volume, which is really cool. Now I am looking to export it of some sort (with the end goal of creating more complex animations)

Therefore I tried to segment it as I read from all the other treads you can’t export a volume rendering, however, is it possible to retain the color of the model in the segmentation?

I have referenced your answers [here](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/merge-colored-images-and-show-them-as-1-volume/6472/6) , yet was unsuccessful in creating a mesh with colors, is it possible to do this with this software?
