Exposure Render

Exposure Render is a CUDA based volume raycaster, enhanced with physically based light transport. More information about the rendering algorithm can be found here:

• An interactive photo-realistic volume rendering framework
  T. Kroes, F. H. Post, C. P. Botha
• Visibility sweeps for joint-hierarchical importance sampling of direct lighting for stochastic volume rendering
  T. Kroes, M. Eisemann, E. Eisemann

The latest windows executable can be found here

Building Exposure Render from source code

If you are eager to build Exposure Render yourself you should clone the release110 repository and follow these instructions .

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!
