This paper describes a fast software-based volume rendering method based on software optimization using SIMD instructions equipped in PC processors currently available. This method achieves fast rendering speed by highly optimizing instructions of software rather than optimization of algorithm. The proposed software can render 3-D volume of 512×512×488 voxel size at about six frames per second in maximum with perspective projection, arbitrary light source position, reflection computation of ambient, diffuse and specula reflections, and on-the-fly surface normal computation on a conventional Intel Pentium-based PC platform which has single or more CPU(s) without special graphics hardware. We can also change color and opacity tables that define color and opacity transfer functions during the rendering process. The change is reflected on rendered images immediately. This software achieves fast rendering speed without any special hardware including graphics boards. We implemented the proposed software in a virtual endoscopy system (VES). The experimental results show that it can render endoscopic views at six frames per second.
