I am looking for ftp sites for source code to a PD volumetric rendering package. The system must be capable of handling about 3 million voxels, and should finish image generation within my lifetime. The RayShade package took 4 days on a dedicated SUN 4/260 for my test dataset. Please e-mail any information that is available. Thanks in advance.

There aren;t many in the public domain because (1) many algorithms are still at the research stage, (2) the codes are large, slow, and buggy, (3) they are of great commercial interest. Try the Illinois Supercomputer Center, ftp.ncsa,uiuc.edu, 128.174.20.50, xdslice package. This has also been added to last weeks X-Windows release as contributed client.
