- That's Brick Of Bytes, but we just call him "Bob" around here. :)
- For those who missed the original posting, Bob is a real time
- volume renderer that I wrote to browse large (e.g. 512^3) data sets.
- Bob only runs on SGI hardware.
-
- Ftp to:
- ftp.arc.umn.edu:pub/gvl.tar.Z
-
- And you'll get the latest version of Bob, Icol and Raz. Source,
- a manual, man pages, and binaries for IRIX 4.0.5 are included.
-
- Bob is popular here, and I have been getting lots of good ideas and
- suggestions for new features (e.g. lighting, explorer interface).
- Look for a reconstructed, better Bob in a month or two.
