ScieVis
Description
I implemented ScieVis for an exam in the Scientific Visualization course at the University of Leipzig. It provides an interactive interface to view and manipulate 3d representations of scalar functions, which are rendered using OpenGL.
ScieVis supports four different algorithms for representation. For more information about these algorithms, refer to the list of references below. Please note that the Marching Cubes algorithm is patented.
The program is intented for learning purposes only. No source code is or will be provided.
