Volume Rendering

A simple OpenGL volume renderer. Qt 5 used as the base framework.

A more detailed documentation can be found here.

Features

• Load a custom volume (saved as a set of images).
• Modify the transfer function.
• Change lighting parameters.
• Enable volume shadows.

Known issues

• The renderer crashes when the performance is low. This is due to some graphic drivers killing the process if a draw call take longer than a few seconds. Can be mitigated by using the tiled rendering.

The software requires the following libraries to be installed:

• GLEW
• Eigen
• QT 5
