[vtkusers] volume texture mapping based on GeForce3 graphics card

[Schaap, J.A. (LKEB)]

Hi Jianlong,

I wanted to do this as well, but I never found the time to do it. I've got some links here with more information on the GeForce3 and volume rendering. Look especialy at Joe Kniss's work at simian.

furthermore I would like to suggest that you derive a class vtkVolumeTextureMapper3D from vtkVolumeTextureMapper and then implement a subclass vtkOpenGLVolumeTextureMapper3D. Take a look at how 
the vtkVolumeTextureMapper2D is devived from vtkVolumeTextureMapper.

Good luck! If you want to work togheter on this, please feel free to mail me. I don't have much experience with OpenGL and the GeForce3 instructions, but I'm always willing to learn and help.

Jorrit.
