Design for a real-time high-quality volume rendering workstation

Recommendations

Real-time multiply recursive reflections and refractions using hybrid rendering

We present a new method for real-time rendering of multiple recursions of reflections and refractions. The method uses the strengths of real-time ray tracing for objects close to the camera, by storing them in a per-frame constructed bounding volume ...
Pipeline rendering: interaction and realism through hardware-based multi-pass rendering
Sort-First Parallel Volume Rendering

Sort-first distributions have been studied and used far less than sort-last distributions for parallel volume rendering, especially when the data are too large to be replicated fully. We demonstrate that sort-first distributions are not only a viable ...
