React.jl && Volume Rendering

After some break and a nasty bug, that really ate away my patience, I present you volume rendering:

It’s still in an early phase, but I’m looking forward to incorporate transition functions and performance tweaks.

Also, I integrated React.jl into my code, which seems to work quite lovely.

It offers a little more functionality and nicer design than my current event system, but it’s also a little slower.

It’ll be interesting to see, how the advantages will play out in my system architecture.

Best,

Simon

Camera is working quite alright now, though still far from pleasant.

If your graphic card has shader model >= 130 you can even try out the example.

If you don’t have my unregistered packages, there is packages.jl which you can execute to get all the needed packages.

Then go to GLPlot/src/ and execute gridshader.jl

Known bugs:

GLFW doesn’t build under osx, you’ve to get the binaries with for example home brew
Unix just works if you have cmake, libglu1-mesa-dev, xorg-dev installed
Shader don’t compile when you don’t have the right shader model (relatively easy to fix)
Camera flips at certain angles (quite easy to fix as well)
No lighting, as I still haven’t started to calculate the normals in a generic and future proof way.

Feel free to report bugs on Github.
