This is brilliant.
Does anyone know the name of the project where they took scans of thin slices of an entire human body to form a virtual 3D model?

Who thinks these guys were really wearing bras on their heads and trying to make Kelly Lebrock?

This is very cool though.

*hypersalivate over that stack of new 9 series geforce cards .. I'm about ready to order another 9600GT, the next time my 7900GTX ruins another round of BF2.

The 9 series feels really good in the hand, well built metal enclosures. Notice they are flush with each other in the video. Do you think Nvidia designed them so their air channels are cooperative when multiple cards are aligned?

I take it these cards are really good at tomographical reconstruction because it's a job involving images and these cards are designed to process images. The video goes on about the supercomputing equivalency of the box though, but I am thinking the whole time -- yeah -- for graphics work. Can a video card be harnessed to speed up other tasks? How about faster rendering in programs like 3D studio max? Thats image-y. Obviously not I guess or they'd be doing it already.

Check out NVIDIA's CUDA language that lets developers program the GPU. They give examples of many other tasks that have been done, but basically some tasks lend themselves to parallel execution more than others. It's a good thing these guys in Antwerp didn't assume it couldn't be done since it wasn't being done!

lol nerds all look alike the world over.
imagine: you could play WoW, AoC and WAR beta simultaneously!

>faster rendering in programs like 3D studio max?
hmmm, i betcha it could. nvidia or ati should be working with these guys to do just that.

NVIDEA HAVE some grfx cards specifically used for rendering in 3ds max/xsi however thay use different drivers and nvidea charge a premium for the cards apparently theres a hack to allow you to get a standard nvidea card to work with the drivers but i don't know how.

fortunately for me all my 3dsmax work is low polly games stuff
