Dear Thiago,

First of all I feel very happy to have Thiago himself to give me a hand on this. Much thanks for your precious contributions.

Tons of thanks for letting me know about ply and obj, you are saving me precious hours here.
I was painfully trying to have manta to build on windows this afternoon, not getting yet why some stuff won't compile.
Mega-tons of thanks for the info about out-of-core. I was fearing such kind of answer, I guess I am ok for a "couple" of deep readings about bvh's and octree's. If you feel like for some favorite data structure for storage and access on a view dependent basis, please share.

Kindest regards and thanks again for your message,
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.

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
