Volume Rendering (Raymarching) Plugin Showcase Project for Unreal Engine

Allows volumetric rendering of DICOM and .MHD data with Unreal Engine.

Uses https://github.com/tommybazar/TBRaymarcherPlugin as a submodule providing all the functionality.

This repo should mostly just show you the Default(Engine/Game/Input).ini that will work well with the plugin.

Submodules

To clone this repo with the plugin included, use this command:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/tommybazar/TBRaymarchProject.git

Or after a regular clone, perform a

$ git submodule init

$ git submodule update

UE Version

I will try to make the project compatible with the latest version (currently 5.3).

For a bleeding-edge version, checkout the master branch.

For older versions of the engine, go to the branch with the appropriate name. Older versions are not be updated with new functionality.

If switching UE versions, don't forget to update both the project (git checkout 4.27) and plugin (git submodule update)

Content visibility

In Unreal editor, don't forget to toggle "Show Plugin Content" in the Content Drawer Settings to see all the maps, blueprints and everything else from the plugin's content.

Readme

For a full readme, go the submodule's repo :

https://github.com/tommybazar/TBRaymarcherPlugin

Both of these renders are using the same CT scan, only difference is windowing and used transfer function.

Example

• The project works out-of-the-box with everything being included in the TBRaymarcherPlugin. There is an example map for Mouse and Keyboard and an example map for VR, input bindings are only setup for Oculus, go into Project settings -> Input if you're using a different headset. Both are included within the plugin.
