Hi,

I am chris, and I would like to find a good tool to render large
image volumes from a CT scanner. The volumes I am working
with are in raw data and have a size of about 500x500x500 voxel.

I allready did some segmentation with it on my SGI O2 so that
I have binary volumes. I can store them with 8 Bit per voxel or
with 1 Bit per Voxel. After the segmentation I render theses
volumes with IDL on a NT machine. The result you can see on
my webpage:

    http://perception.bien.mu.edu/~chris

But I would like to render them on my SGI instead an now I am
looking for a nice tool to render these volumes. Of course there
is IDL for IRIX, but not in our department, and is IDL really a
nice tool ?? So I heard about povray and I would like to know
if there is any chance to do this job by using PovRay?

I will appreciate any help or commands.

    chris

There's a volume rendering patch for povray. I think
it is the isosurface patch, look for it.

Markus,

Thanks for the help, I am compiling povray now and will try it
soon.
