Anurag, Welcome to the BRL-CAD project! You successfully managed the Google Summer of Code application process. Now it's time to think about the coming task. (However, it shouldn't be necessary to write a new ray-trace algorithm for BRL-CAD. The existing one does quite a good job ;)
You should look for possible parameters to a voxelize function. E.g. how this function will decide whether an rectangular region is a voxel or not. It's easy if this rectangle is inside a region but how do you handle the borders? You'll have to associate the voxels to a distinct region each. Which parameters would influence this mapping? On the other side you have to think about the possible result formats. As you wrote in your proposal the output should be used by fluid dynamics and volume rendering codes. Theses programs do not know about BR-CAD and arb8s. You should discuss the file format of an output on the mailing list and IRC. There are probable some people who have such formats in mind. I.e., before you start programing at May 21st you should clarify these points: Which parameters do you need for which feature and which functions do you need and how to cascade them.
