VOXVU is a volume rendering tool available on SUN workstations equipped with a TAAC board. Does anybody out there know if Silicon Grpahics has a similar tool available on personal IRIS-4D/2* ? Any pointer/ suggestion is welcome. Thilaka sumane@ibis.stanford.edu

This product has been _specifically_ tuned to run on IRIS's, especially GTX models (and just wait for it on the new graphics :-). It currently renders at ~4million voxels/sec on a 240GTX and is soon to come with some goodies like a shared memory interface, various preprocessors etc. We have been putting it through it's paces for a few weeks now and will be using it on our 240GTX real soon now. Get lots of memory though .....
