[comp.graphics] volume rendering on the ncube.

unhd (Joseph M Joy) (03/19/90)

Hi,
	I have written some code for volume rendering 3D scalar fields
on an ncube hypercube computer. Before I invest more effort, I would
like to know if anyone has done this before. References welcome.

	The renderer I have partially working uses the "composting"
method i.e., it projects voxels onto the image. I plan to
also implement a "ray casting" algorithm, that casts rays
from the viewpoint into  the volume.

	Thanks in advance.
