Alpha 2 Release (2015-07-22)
- New Features
- Accurate transparency without depth peeling
- Progressive refinement for high-quality results with interactive performance
- Fast volume rendering with gradient shading and support for implicit isosurfaces
- Known Issues
- Minor memory leak during rendering
- Memory leak when modifying volumes and geometries (changes to transfer functions are managed)
- View does not always refresh with correct bounds and aspect ratio. workaround: click the reset camera button in ParaView
- Only uniform grids can be volume rendered
- Volumes and geometry can not yet be combined. Currently if there is a visible volume, geometry will not be rendered.
- LightKit does not work.
- Outline representations do not work.
Alpha Release (2015-04-08)
- New Features
- Real-time software rendering of polygonal and volumetric datasets
- Logarithmic performance scaling with data size, supports volumes and geometries up to the memory limitations of a given system while maintaining interactive performance
- Support for existing ParaView filters and materials
- Ambient Occlusion shading
