MFA-DVR: Direct Volume Rendering of MFA Models

Created by Jianxin Sun, Hongfeng Yu from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and David Lenz, Tom Peterka from Argonne National Laboratory

Demo video can be found here.

Introduction

This work is the implementation of MFA-DVR, direct volume rendering pipeline using MFA model, on top of VTK for accessibility to scieintific visualization community. The VTK version used is 9.0.3.

Installation

1. Get VTK_MFA-DVR source code

git clone https://github.com/sunjianxin/VTK_MFA-DVR.git

2. Configure VTK_FMA-DVR using ccmake
   • Initialize the cache by typing ‘c’ for configure.
   • Turn on BUILD_EXAMPLES and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.
   • Replace Debug by Release under CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
   • Once this is done type ‘c’ again.
   • Type ‘c’ one last time to rerun the configuration with those parameters.
   • Type ‘g’. CMake should exit after having generated a Makefile

cd VTK_MFA-DVR
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..

3. Configure VTK_MFA-DVR using config file Shade can be turn on and off in external/config.h file
4. Build and install

make install
