Hi Kaveh,
Manta is able to read obj and ply files.  Examples for that are here: http://mantawiki.sci.utah.edu/manta/index.php/Trianglesceneviewer
You could also look at the source code for one of the mesh readers, located in Model/Readers and modify it to load your own triangle format.  As for out-of-core, Manta doesn't have any support for that, so you would need to extend Manta to handle this.

" type="cite"> Hello,

Much thanks for this splendid ray-tracer.

I would like to find a good out of core visualization of massive data solution and think manta could do but I could not find much information on how to turn my dataset (either triangles or density fields) into a manta one.

Sorry but I am an acceleration structure / BVH ultra-noob. Could you provide an hint on where to get started in order to bake data for manta ?

Much thanks for your help.

Kindest regards,
Kaveh Rassoulzadegan
