Abstract A method for visualizing multivolume data and functionally defined surface using graphics processing units is proposed. The method provides visualization of a large number of volumes, a complex of semi-transparent and functionally defined objects, of complex semi-transparent volumes, including intersections of volumes in constructive solid modeling. Simultaneous rendering of different volumes is more difficult than rendering of a single volume, because both intersecting and blending operations are required. Functionally defined surfaces are well suited for embedding external objects into volumes.
