There is no much time left till the deadline for the handling of this final project. The subject had something to do with volume rendering in OpenCL (although I have also a GLSL version here, from where the screenshots come).
Some days ago I tried to mix my 3d dot box effects I had here in some old posts with my volume rendering engine. At the moment I just upload them in a 3D texture every frame, which runs at 20fps except when my laptop gets hot and drops at 5-10fps (happens very frequently when I run this code), and then with a key I pause the effect update and spin around and near the volume still to adore it's looks.
I have so much to fix (normals for lighting/reflection, more proper alpha blending, implement bilinear in the OpenCL version, port the effects in OpenCL and more) and... oh, I should choose something for my final project and start writting it. So, I may leave the experiments at the moment and try to concentrate on the main thing. Normally I was supposed to have a look at data structures like octrees and such stuff to accelerate the process and I hope I still have time for that. No matter what, I will start writting the report, implement what I can and see from there.
But finally I love those pictures (And still there are some buggy parts). In the past everything was wrong. It's the first day I see some interesting beauty. At least I might do a demo with this if I don't manage to get my degree :P
Nice plasma! ;) Put an ice pack under that laptop..
