[vtkusers] Volume Rendering and Large Textures

[Sean Spicer]

All,

Can someone explain to me VTK's strategy for handling texture-map Based
volume-rendering (e.g. vtkVolumeTextureMapper2D - I think) when the
specified volume does not fit entirely into texture memory?  I understand
that 3 copies of the volume must be made for 2D decomposition of the
volume, but what happens when texture-memory is over subscribed - multiple
brick volumes.  Can the standard routines in VTK handle this easily?

Thanks,

sean
