[vtkusers] Texture-mapping based volume rendering

[Weiguang Guan]

Hi everyone,

Does vtk implement texture mapping based volume rendering which utilizes 
modern graphics card's 3D texture mapping capability? It could make volume 
rendering much faster without using special hardware (like VolumePro). 
Has anyone made a performace comparison of different rendering 
techniques (in terms of sec or ms on 256 cubic volume)? Thanks.
