Description

The VolViewer main application window.

VolViewer is an open source application for the interactive visualisation and quantification of biological data. The application is written in C++ using OpenGL and Qt.

Features:

Real-time volume rendering using an optimized 3D texture slicing algorithm.
Interactive transfer functions to independently adjust opacity and luminance for up to three data channels.
Real-time per channel thresholding, brightness and contrast operators.
On-the-fly gradient computation for local illumination.
Iso-surface computation with surface smoothing.
Section viewing in any orientation / position.
Real-time volume clipping.
3D measurements, filters & segmentation.
Key frame interpolation for easy movie creation/export by interpolating transformations, clipping and transfer function states.
Stereo rendering using either quad buffer or anaglyph mode.

Requirements: An OpenGL 2.1 / GLSL 1.20 compatible GPU with a recomended 512MB of memory.

Although we try to keep up to date builds these sometimes lag behind the SVN trunk. So if you want the latest version / features, it is best to build the application from the trunk of the SVN. The build system is based on qmake for easy cross platform compilation.
