Hank Childs, University of Oregon Volume Rendering Primer / Intro to VisIt
3
Announcements Volume rendering lectures: preview today, more next week VisIt lectures: today, Friday Project proposal (whoops): – WEBSITE SAID NOV 15 th – WEBSITE SAID IT WOULD BE GRADED – 510: due Weds Nov 11 th – 410: due Tues Nov 17 th Class canceled Mon Nov 16 th JB^2?
4
Project #7A You write VTK program. – I expect that your answers will be partially derived from previous VTK programs – Python OK 4 renderers in 1 window isosurface three slices hedgehogs streamlines

Project 7B (510 only)
7
Final Project Two general flavors: – Here is some data I find interesting and I want to visualize Data source: – Find yourself – I have some How to visualize: – Use VTK – Use VisIt – Other – Here is a visualization algorithm I want to implement

Volume Rendering Primer Goal: get you enough information to make a decision whether to do self-defined project or pre-defined project Volume rendering project: – implement – make some pictures – do a performance study

Volume rendering Important visualization technique for 3D data Use combination of color and transparency to see entire 3D data set at one time.

20 LLNL-PRES-ZZZZZZ The VisIt project started in 2000 to support LLNL’s large scale ASC physics codes. The project grew beyond LLNL and ASC with research and development from DOE SciDAC and other efforts. VisIt is now supported by multiple organizations: LLNL, LBNL, ORNL, UC Davis, Univ of Utah, Intelligent Light, … Over 75 person years of effort, 1.5+ million lines of code. Project StartedLLNL ASC users transitioned to VisIt 2005 R&D 100VACET FundedTransition to Public SW repo VisIt 2.0 Release 200020032005200620082010 2012 - 2017 Project Introduction
