Most of the major changes in Manta over the summer involved how triangle meshes are represented as well as the API of acceleration structures over those meshes and preprocess. In most cases minimal changes are necessary to update to these API changes. I'm not sure if anyone has worked on direct iso-surface rendering over the summer.

Other people on the list might be able to enumerate other major changes. If you have problems building your code don't hesitate to post questions to the list.

Hi Abe

I've recently returned to looking at using Manta to perform direct isosurfacing
on our volumetric data (some samples of which we had sent you back in March
this year)

Could you please tell me if there have been any major changes to the code since
then - specifically the direct isosurfacing functionality?

I'll be attempting to render one of our experimental datasets next week by
converting it into octree format to use with the "isovol" viewer but I wanted
to check with you first to see if you have made any major
changes/fixes/improvements which we should try to take advantage of.

I'd like to get make a start on this over the weekend if possible so if you can
reply soon that would be really helpful.

Thanks
