Trying out some new datasets and new techniques…

EDIT:  Jim asked for some more details, and I already had some images that I intended to post, but forgot about.  So here’s a breakdown of the three layers used to make the above image…

Chameleon rendered layers

The left layer is an environment map lookup, the middle is a front lit with high opacity, and the right is a backlit with low opacity.   These were then additively composited together.

I also did some tests on this dataset with clipping.

Chameleon culled with spherical gizmo

Chameleon culled with box

The box culling was an accident, but I thought it looked like a cut of meat that had been chewed on by mice.

Just a little ditty put together for some testing.  Investigating the how the specular highlights look on a low resolution dynamic dataset.

Hello World. In this inaugural post, I wanted to describe what we’re all about here at AT Research.  But rather than bombard you with jargon and mission statements, about cutting-edge rendering paradigms, highly-scalable volumetric acquisition processing pipelines, and Six-Sigma proven performance platforms, I think it would be best just to describe a type of problem we’re addressing.  Today, we’re going to discuss rendering X-Rays.
