Abstract

An efficient technique is described for rendering volume data which is not organized as a regular, three-dimensional grid. The algorithm works on collections of convex cells with shared faces. Datasets of this form are quite common in such applications as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Modeling (FEM).
