A plugin for J3DWorkbench is now available on the project site which implements the 'Marching Cubes' algorithm for rendering 2D DICOM images into 3D volume meshes.

The source code is not yet published (is anyone interested?), but I was helped along by the example code by Paul Bourke. I was also inspired by the original paper found here.

Programs tend to have design goals; for J3DWorkbench, it aims to be:

• A 'swiss army knife' of desktop interactive 3D.
• A 'glue' of real-time 3D

Here are great some things you can do (and being done) with J3DWorkbench:

Geography, Geolocalization, Architecture

Do a virtual fly through of your geographical area, using real arial or satellite data
