[osg-users] View volume image on web

[Émeric MASCHINO]

Hi Clement,

If by volume, you mean voxels, then you're out of luck, as OpenGL ES,
which WebGL relies upon, lacks of 3D texture support [1]. This is
something WebGL 2.0 is supposed to solve. In the meantime, there seems
to be a trick involving GLSL [2] but I didn't look deep into the
code/solution.

BTW, how did you use WebGL with OSG? I know of OSG.JS [3], a
JavaScript reimplementation of OSG API aiming to develop WebGL
applications, but that's a totally different project.

>    I saved my volume image data as dds format by using osgDB::writeImage method.  Does anyone know any method to be able to show dds image on webpage?  I tried webgl and it does not work.  I am not sure whether webgl supports volume rendering or not.  Thanks.
