The X3D Volume Rendering component represents a 3D portion of space with a renderable grid of voxel values for advanced visualization and presentation techniques.

The Volume Rendering examples illustrate concepts and capabilities defined by the X3D version 3.3 ISO specification for X3D Volume Rendering Component, produced by the Web3D Medical Working Group.

Volume data is typically encoded in the NRRD (Nearly Raw Raster Data) format. Further information is found in this archive's README file. See build.xml for datasets.zip download support.
