Exposure Render

This Google Code project website is dedicated to Exposure Render, a CUDA based volume raycaster, enhanced with physically based light transport. The implementation details are described in the paper:

Exposure Render has been officially released! You can download it http://code.google.com/p/exposure-render/downloads/detail?name=ExposureRender-1.1.0-win32.exe&can=2&q=#makechanges'>here. We have managed to solve the most critical and annoying bugs and are still working hard to make it even more stable.

Building Exposure Render
If you are eager to build Exposure Render yourself you should clone the release 1.1.0http://code.google.com/p/exposure-render/source/clones'> mercurial repository, and not the default repository, because this repository is a WIP at the moment. Get more info on building Exposure Render with Visual Studio http://code.google.com/p/exposure-render/wiki/BuildingExposureRender'>here.
For questions or comments contact me at t.kroes at tudelft.nl.

You can also build the VTK wrapping and example project, find more info here http://code.google.com/p/exposure-render/wiki/BuildingErCore'>http://code.google.com/p/exposure-render/wiki/BuildingErCore. Note, this repo is still under development!

System requirements

• Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
• At least 1GB of system memory.
• NVIDIA CUDA-compatible GPU with compute capability 1.0 and at least 512 megabytes of DRAM. GTX270 or higher is recommended

At the moment, larger data sets might give problems, we are working on that!
