Subject: v21i003: rayshade - A raytracing package for UNIX, Part00/19 Message-ID: X-Md4-Signature: 046dae10a8b87aa8644fb1d29c9143c4 Sender: kent@sparky.IMD.Sterling.COM (Kent Landfield) Organization: Yale University Department of Mathematics Date: Sat, 20 Jul 1991 04:32:04 GMT Approved: kent@sparky.imd.sterling.com Lines: 41 Submitted-by: Rayshade Construction Co. Posting-number: Volume 21, Issue 3 Archive-name: rayshade/part00 Environment: UNIX, !16BIT The following 19 shar files contain Rayshade 4.0, a raytracing package for Un*x machines. This version is extremely different from 3.0, and is very different from 4.0beta. Rayshade 4.0 features include: + Eleven primitives (blob, box, cone, cylinder, height field, plane, polygon, sphere, torus, flat- and Phong-shaded triangle) + Aggregate objects + Constructive solid geometry + Point, directional, extended, spot, and quadrilateral light sources + Solid procedural texturing, bump mapping, and 2D "image" texture mapping + Antialiasing through variable-rate "jittered" sampling + Arbitrary linear transformations on objects and texture/bump maps. + Use of uniform spatial subdivision or hierarchy of bounding volumes to speed rendering + Options to facilitate rendering of stereo pairs + Rudimentary animation support and motion blur + Numerous bug fixes and syntax changes Apologies to all the folks who felt that their Rayshade 4.0beta questions were not handled in a timely fashion. Both Rod and Craig have had to deal with Real Life and did not have as much time for Rayshade as we had hoped. We still feel that Rayshade is the best Un*x raytracing package for the price. Rayshade 4.0 is available via anonymous ftp from weedeater.math.yale.edu (130.132.23.17) in pub/rayshade.4.0. The shar files will be posted to alt.sources and submitted to comp.sources.misc.
