Abstract [eng] The space of 3D modelling is an everchanging landscape where technology is constantly innovating and as such programs dedicated to 3-dimensional rendering along with the associated firmware that they are built to operate upon have very short half-lives. This research is dedicated to explore more recent technological innovations that have occurred in the space of 3-dimensional graphics rendering and to integrate it into the development of next generation programs that can develop photo-realistic 3-dimensional models generated from data obtained via a CT modality. The goal of this project is to develop an open source program that can render 3D models from CT datasets. Rendering programme is designed using Vulkan rendering engine which is a low-overhead platform agnostic Application Programming Interface. These programs serve as an alternative to open source programs that exist in the market today such as Slicer 3D which are built upon the older OpenGL standard. Programs built on Vulkan reduce computational time, increase energy efficiency and reduce overload. These programs also allow for the implementation of more advanced computational workflows such as neural networks or cinematic rendering which implements photorealistic detail to the model that is rendered. A working Vulcan based engine was developed and compared with other opensource tools . Due to the nature of Vulcan engine, performance benchmarks were proven to be in favor of the latter. Also an option of exporting models to glTF allowed for a multiplatform compatibility, including mobile devices.
