What is the size of the data set? If you are using 3D tiff, then the maximum file size would be 2 GB, I think. 2. If it is in some other format, raw binary for example, and the data size is more than 2 GB, you will need to use 64-bit offsets to seek/read the data file correctly. See src/lib/loaders/BinLoader.cxx for example usage.

So the question is: are out there any SGI tool/API "similar" to volumizer? We have to render in a 3D volume about 100 slices (256*256 pixel each) and each pixel will be a glPoint. Probably we will reduce to 8 pixel or 27 pixel cube voxels, but we expect that this will require high computation time. Any suggestion to reduce visualization time? Is this the right approach to the problem? Any suggestion on a well supported graphic board (high-end user or pro class) ?

If you have any specific requests for cross-platform availability, please contact the product manager, Mark Cabrales at cabrales@sgi.com. There are multiple schemes that can be used to visualize volume data sets. Volumizer uses 3D texture mapping to do volume rendering using hardware assisted 3D texture mapping. Alternative techniques like ray casting and splatting can also be used. You should be able to find more information on the web about these techniques. VTK (Visualization Toolkit) from kitware provides support for software ray casting, 2D texture based volume rendering and support for Volume Pro boards. There is a VTK class that ships with Volumizer to demonstrate the use of Volumizer based 3D texture mapping in a VTK application.

In particular, specifying a lighting direction with a negative coordinate does not seem to work. The result is no lighting at all. This can easily be demonstrated by changing the initial lighting direction in the GradientShade demo program from static float initialDirection[3] = {1.0, 0.0, 0.0}; to static float initialDirection[3] = {-1.0, 0.0, 0.0}; which should light from the left or to static float initialDirection[3] = {0.0, 0.0, -1.0}; which should light from below. I'm using volumizer 2.4. thanks - jc John Clyne (clyne@ncar.ucar.edu) National Center for Atmospheric Research P.O.

If the error flag is found to be set, the render action prints the warning message that you are getting and continues. This error could be occuring inside your application or somewhere else (for example another library that you might be using). The best way to locate the problem would be to run the application under ogldebug and enable checking for GL errors! hth, Praveen On Fri, 21 Feb 2003, Praveen Thiagarajan wrote: > > Dear All, > > I am trying to do stereo using volumizer.

The package should include a sample viewer application 'volview' which would allow you to do quad-buffered stereo, etc. You will also need to install OpenGL Multipipe SDK in order to run volview. Volumizer 1.2 supports 2D texture based volume rendering, while Volumizer 2.x assumes 3D texture support on the system... and hence 2.x is not supported on lower end systems like the O2.

I think all the reasons that SGI ported Performer to Linux and Windows apply to Volumizer. I think that would make a statement that SGI is really behind the Volumizer software product. I think that moving to the other platforms gives a bigger user base. I think a larger user base helps the sales of the high end SGI systems by making their desktop work compatible with a large Onyx shared resource. Everyone prefers to work in their office for development and testing. When the size of the problem demands it, being able to easily move to a big Onyx would increases the number of Onyx users. I'm also a user of the Vizserver product. It is allowing us to share a Onyx3000 IR4 pipe for development and collaboration. I think having Volumizer on a Linux platform would be a good step in increasing the number of potential users for a large shared Onyx. In our case, we could do some development and testing on a Linux machine of smaller data and then moving to the Onyx3000 (either directly or via Vizserver) for the actual scientific work. -Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven G.

We have several people that are interested in using our volume rendering application, but do not have regular access to big SGI machines. It would be very useful if these users could run our application on smaller machines, with a reduction in performance. It would also make it easier for us developers if we can avoid taking up time on expensive machines during coding sessions.
