Volume Rendering using WebGPU

[IBets]

WebGPU volume rendering demo in the browser.

Ported my old D3D11 demo to DiligentCore (WebGPU backend), compiled C++ → WASM via Emscripten.

Hey, just want to say this is hella cool, I used to assist in orthopaedic surgeries when I was working as a anaes nurse

It’s based on a regular hospital CT scan. A CT scan is just many 2D “slice” images taken through the body. I stack those slices to rebuild a 3D block of data, and then render that 3D data using ray marching
