[vtkusers] Re: Shear-wrap volume rendering algorithm (Pal Srinivas)

[Pal Srinivas]

Hi  Stefan,
      I ran the shear wrap program from the open source given in the site. I 
just tested with one of the dataset that is available on net. It worked fine 
for small dataset but not for larger one and for perspective projection.
       Could please tell approximately how long will it take to obtain 
complete implementation of it?

thanks for all contributors.. especially stefen, botha, amit.
