Amazing Volume Rendering using Shear Warp Technique

[tech_guy]

Amazing. An animated volume rendering of a mouse skull using the shear warp technique. In computer graphics, volume rendering is the process of creating a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional discretely sampled data set. This image uses a series of CT scans of the skull. Direct volume rendering is a computationally intensive task that may be performed in several ways:
