Re: [Paraview] Accelerated volume rendering in 3.8.0-RC1?

2010-04-20 Thread Moreland, Kenneth
There is no direct way to do that.  The problem is that image data is 
constrained to have uniform spacing and be axis aligned whereas structured 
grids are not.  You could build a filter to do the conversion, but it would 
have to rely on resampling or warping of the grid.

Thanks, Ken.
That's good to know. I always thought Tetra and HAVS are only CPU based.
And is there a way to convert my structured grid data to image data in order to 
enable other accelerated rendering?
