The ImageVis3D team is proud to announce the release of ImageVis3D 1.1!
ImageVis3D is a desktop volume rendering application which was designed
to visualize large data. Support is available for multiple rendering
modes, such as 1D and 2D transfer functions, isosurface rendering,
as well as specialized modes such as MIP and slice views. On modern
systems, ImageVis3D's GPU-accelerated rendering delivers incredible
performance, while compatibility options exist to allow ImageVis3D to
perform adequately on older systems.
While ImageVis3D 1.1 is primarily a feature release, important bugs
were fixed. Changes since 1.0 include:
New Features
------------
* A converter for Fraunhofer EZRT data was contributed by Andre
Liebscher. Thanks, Andre!
* The 'minimum framerate' setting is now honored; ImageVis3D will
now render higher-resolution data if they exist in cache and your
system can render the data at the desired framerate.
* The 'a' key now changes rotation modes; see the manual for details.
* 'pageup' and 'pagedown' now provide fine-grained control over the
zoom factor.
* One can now zoom in the 2D transfer function editor.
Bugs fixed in this release
--------------------------
* Full-color datasets with multiple bricks would render incorrectly
with the slice-based renderer.
* A bug was fixed which caused the crash detection feature not to
disable itself once enabled.
* Built-in URLs for help/other resources were updated to account for
the new SCI website.
Changes which are only of interest to developers
------------------------------------------------
* The windows project file now disables many of the warnings in the
included third party libraries.
* Tuvok's IO has been separated into a separate repository and linked
via a subversion external.
Known issues with this release
------------------------------
* The 'Stack' ("stk"), single-file TIFF volume, Fraunhofer RZRT
("rek") and Brick-of-values ("BOV") file formats can only be read,
not written.
* RGBA is the only kind of multicomponent data supported.
* For some Linux systems with nvidia GPUs, the raycaster can expose
a driver issue which causes system lockups. We recommend sticking
with the slice based volume renderer on Linux for this release.
* Full-color datasets do not display a proper histogram in the
transfer function editors.
ImageVis3D 1.1 supports Intel Macs 10.4 and up (10.5.7 highly
recommended), Windows, and Linux. Binaries are available at:
http://www.sci.utah.edu/download/imagevis3d.html
the nightly 'developer builds' site:
http://www.sci.utah.edu/devbuilds/imagevis3d/
or directly from the subversion repository at:
https://gforge.sci.utah.edu/svn/imagevis3d
We look forward to your feedback on this release. Best,
- The ImageVis3D team.
