After some investigation we've discovered that the "vz" files are displayed correctly only in the first window. They can be displayed correctly in multiple viewports in that window, with each viewport having a different channel offset, but everything after the first window is incorrect. In our case, our RAVE's first window happens to be the front wall, on pipe 0, so that's why it appears correct. Below is a small program I wrote which illustrates the problem- it's just generic Performer code to display an object in two windows: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include void signal_catcher(int sig) { pfExit() ; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc<=1) { fprintf(stderr,"Usage: %s file [file ... ]\n",argv[0]) ; return 1 ; } signal(SIGINT, signal_catcher); pfInit() ; int i ; for (i=1; iaddChild(light) ; pfFilePath("/usr/share/Performer/data") ; for (i=1; iaddChild(pfdLoadFile(argv[i])) ; pfVec3 xyz = pfVec3(0.0f, -20.0f, 0.0f) ; pfVec3 hpr = pfVec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) ; pfPipe *pipe = pfGetPipe(0) ; pfChannel *chan1 = new pfChannel(pipe) ; chan1->setScene(scene) ; chan1->setView(xyz, hpr) ; pfPipeWindow *win1 = new pfPipeWindow(pipe) ; win1->setName("foo") ; win1->setOriginSize(0, 0, 500, 500) ; win1->addChan(chan1) ; win1->open() ; pfChannel *chan2 = new pfChannel(pipe) ; chan2->setScene(scene) ; chan2->setView(xyz, hpr) ; pfPipeWindow *win2 = new pfPipeWindow(pipe) ; win2->setName("bar") ; win2->setOriginSize(510, 0, 500, 500) ; win2->addChan(chan2) ; win2->open() ; while (1) { pfFrame() ; } return 0 ; } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I run it with the names of files to load as command line arguments. I loaded windmill.iv and the head. The head is loaded as "simple.vz" from /usr/share/Volumizer2/data/XML I can send you an image of a screen dump if you'd like to see how it looks. The screen on the left looks good, the screen on the right has a solid white block where the volumetric data should be. Will someone please, please, please answer or comment on our questions? I'd be pleased to find out I'm doing something dumb, as long as it fixes the problem. Also, what's happened to the Volumizer email list? I see my posts on the Performer list, but the Volumizer list seems to be dead.

I have a .vz file which loads correctly with perfly using the libpfvz.so loader supplied with Performer 3.0.2. When I load it into a Performer application that utilizes three IR4 pipes the volume data only draw on pipe 0. The other polygon data displayed with a variety of other Performer loaders all show up correctly of on the other pipes. This is an immersive cave like setup. I know that Volumizer uses Multipipe SDK Library. I have mpk_eoe 2.1.1 installed. Could this be caused by a mpk configuration problem? I have done no specific configuration for mpk, other than what ever the default inst does when installing. Does anyone have any pointers or suggestions on where to look for a solution to this problem?

I've compiled the BasicViewer example application, but in addition to giving the same error, it also fails to come up with an image at all, and suffers from an ever decreasing "frame rate", up to to point of completely freezing. I'm not sure which method is used for the LUT (texture LUT or shader), but the plain OpenGL version of my application, which uses a texture LUT, runs ok. This leads me to think that it isn't a hardware/driver problem, but rather something that needs to be fixed in Volumizer. Anybody else got experience with a similar set-up? Anton H.J.

I just got back from my vacation. Volumizer does NOT use Multipipe SDK (MPK) internally hence this is definitely not an MPK issue. Only sample applications like volview use MPK. The libpfvz loader does not need MPK libraries. It is not clear from your mail whether you see the correct Volumizer rendering in ALL the pipes when running perfly. Please try loading your data into perfly to make sure that the issue is not in your application. Since your application renders correctly on one pipe, you are definitely not seeing any issues with dynamic loading of the pfvz loader.

The source code uses Volumizer and would require you to have the appropriate dev environment installed on your system in order to run the software. In other words, the sources for the vtkVolumeTextureMapper3D would do you no good without the Volumizer headers and libraries. What system are you running this on? You can download an evaluation version of Volumizer for IRIX and Linux from www.sgi.com/software/volumizer.

This is both using a SimpleShader and a LUTShader, and with my own application as well as with the sample application ("viewer" from the pguide). As volume rendering by 3D texture mapping tends to be fill rate (or at least graphics card) limited, the high CPU usage is suspicious (almost as if some software rendering is being done). Using my own OpenGL routines not only the CPU load ranges from 15 to 30% but the frame rates are much higher (at comparable sampling rates). On an Onyx4 the frame rates of Volumizer and my own routines are comparable. Again I'd like to hear the experiences of people who have tried Volumizer on their particular hardware. Anton H.J.

We have currently decided to stick with the latest NVidia (GeForce FX and above) and ATI (Radeon 9000 and FireGL series) graphics systems when it comes to using GL extensions for implementing certain shaders. See the 2.6 release notes at http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/relnotes_2.6.pdf Note that simple 3D texture rendering (aka TMSimpleShader) should work on cards which support 3D textures. The TMLUTShader returns an error since it does not support the underlying graphics system. Also note that you can implement your own shaders using the vzTMShader class interface. Use the pre-shape callback to set up the appropriate OpenGL state by enabling dependent texture lookup using the NV_texture_shader extension, which should be supported on the GeForce4.

As you increase the image size, you would expect a drop in the frame rates. The drop should not be very drastic though as you seem to be indicating. It might be the case that Volumizer is hitting a slow path in the GL implementation. I will try and test this on my GeForce4 but cannot promise anything right now :( Cheers, Praveen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anton Koning" To: Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: [info-volumizer] Frame rate > > Hi again, > > Played around some more with Volumizer on my Linux laptop and found the > CPU usage increases and the frame rate decreases drastically, when the > image I render gets larger.

OpenGL Volumizer is the industry's first commercially available, high-level volume rendering application programming interface (API) for the energy, manufacturing, medical, and sciences markets. OpenGL Volumizer is a revolutionary graphics API designed for interactive, high quality, scalable visualization of large volumetric data sets. OpenGL Volumizer provides a high-level interface to OpenGL hardware to allow application writers and researchers to visualize multiple gigabytes of volumetric data. The API uses OpenGL for volume rendering and hence allows standard graphics applications to treat volumetric and surface data in a similar fashion. The OpenGL Volumizer 2.6 release includes support for 32-bit Linux systems running Red Hat 8.0 and above, extended support for the Silicon Graphics Onyx4 UltimateVision system and additional sample code and documentation. SGI has also updated the OpenGL Volumizer web site. Take a look: http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/ With this release of OpenGL Volumizer and the support of additional operating systems, SGI has implemented a run-time license requirement for both the IRIX and Linux versions of OpenGL Volumizer 2.6. SGI continues to understands the need to support multiple operating systems for the benefit of our software developers and customers. In order to support the development of OpenGL Volumizer on the existing operating systems, and in the future additional operating systems, SGI has also added a fee for a full run-time license. The US List Price for both the IRIX and Linux run-time license is $750, with discounts available for volume purchases (5, 10, and 50 licenses). For more information on purchasing a license, please contact your sales representative. There is also a 28 day evaluation license available for download on the OpenGL Volumizer web site. For developers, we also have an OEM licensing option available. For further detail on this, please contact me directly. Download information can be found at: http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/downloads.html For a complete list of the new features supported within OpenGL Volumizer 2.6 please see the release notes: http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/relnotes_2.6.pdf Please contact me should you require additional information.

This might change with future releases since now with programmable graphics hardware, it would make sense to have RGB volume textures representing other shading parameters like gradients, other attributes, etc. The IFLloader forces this limitation by returning an error if the number of channels in the data set is 3 even though libtiff will allow you to load RGB files just fine. In the meantime, depending upon what you are trying to do, you would need to - 1. Modify the IFLLoader source code (/usr/share/Volumizer2/src/lib/loaders/IFLLoader.*) and to allow loading the RGB data into memory. 2. Once the RGB data is loaded, add an alpha channel to the data set by allocating a new RGBA buffer. The RGB values can be copied from the original values and the alpha values need to be computed. There are multiple ways of computing the Alpha value from the RGB values and the actual computation would depend on the data set that you are trying to visualize. One simple scheme would be to simply use the average of the RGB values as the Alpha value. 3. Create a volume texture with a data format of RGBA and point to the above memory buffer. Now you should be ready to render this data. hth, Praveen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeroen Akershoek" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 9:19 PM Subject: [info-volumizer] RGB 3D TIFF files > Hello, > > I was wondering if there was an 'easy' way to load RGB (3 channel) three dimensional TIFF files. > The IFLloader gives a 'unsupported number of channels'-error. > Is there some other way to load these into Volumizer (2.5), or some easy way to convert the files to something that is supported? > > Kind regards, > Jeroen > > -- > Jeroen Akershoek > SARA Computing and Network Services > tel: +31 20 5923000 fax: +31 20 6683167 > > Te audire non possum.

If you simply want a FPS comparision for the systems, you can just run volview on both the systems with the -verbose mode and load the same data sets on the machines. This will provide you the comparative 'raw pixel fill performance with trilinear texture filtering'. If you want to test out data transfer rates, you can run volview with the time-varying module (libvolviewTV) since this will test the data paging performance from disk to main memory and main memory to texture memory of the system. Other metrics can be tested out similarly as well. hth, Praveen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ahmet Genc" To: Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 1:39 AM Subject: [info-volumizer] benchmarking Linux vs. Irix > Hi there, > > We developed a volume rendering application using Volumizer in Irix > environment -in Onyx2 SGI machine. > > Since the recent version -2.6- of Volumizer is available in the Linux > platform, we would like to do some benchmarking between Linux and Irix > to see/evaluate time/resource requirements for optimum performance. > > Does anyone know how I can evaluate Volumizer calls in this regard?
