Good Job.
I've noticed several issues:
1) Surface-mesh based image looks very "Lego like" (cubical
appearance).
Iso-surface threshold can not be changed interactively and it takes a
long time to change it.
2) I could not get gradient based lighting in VR mode.
I could see only fake lighting via black/white TF setting.
Does it sup****t true lighting (gradient based) in volume rendering
mode?
Apparently it does in surface-mesh mode but my question
about lighting in VR mode.
3) Also, I've noticed _very_ profound
under-sampling (black and white stripes) artifacts when
I tried to see bone tissue or skin tissue. Basically any mid-range
opacity settings cause this artifact. Are you going
to eliminate this artifacts in later releases or you
see it as an inevitable property of your VR technique?
One suggestion: It would be great to see an image gallery on your web
sight. It helps people to get an advance idea about VR image quality
they may expect using your rendering engine.
Thanks,
Stefan
