CMSC 691V:

Volume Rendering Project

DUE: October 14, 1998

Your assignment is to implement one of the following volume rendering algorithms from scratch:

Volume Ray Casting (back-to- front or front-to-back, perspective or parallel)
Splatting
Shear-Warp Factorization
Hardware Texture Mapping

to produce images of the data sets:
    ~ebert/graphics2/MED/3dhead.new
    ~ebert/graphics2/MED/3dknee.new
Additionally, you can also volume render this data set:
    /home/faculty5/ebert/abd/abd_ct_0_111.ct (this is a different format)

You also have the option of choosing which accumulation technique you want to use: atmospheric or normal.
A simple shading model can be used. Here is some information on implementing a simple Phong shading model.

A sample image from the abdominal data set is the following:

What you need to turn in:

Create a web page for the assignment and email us with the URL by the submission deadline.
The web page should have the following on it:

A brief description of what type of renderer you implemented and any problems or lessons learned during the assignment.

Instructions on how to run the program

A link to the executable, source code, makefile, and another necessary files

Example images created by the program

Your program can output images in any format readable by the "xv" program.
