Previous work has demonstrated the clarity and usefulness of illustrative techniques for visualizing flow data. However, previous systems were limited to applying these techniques to uniform grids. Since unstructured grids have emerged as a common basis for computing flow simulations, we present a method to apply and extend the flow illustration approach to tetrahedral meshes using pre-integrated GPU-accelerated raycasting. Our illustrative rendering techniques can also be applied for other pre-integrated volume rendering systems. Additionally, we explore new feature illustration techniques for flow visualization.
