This file contains two pictures. The first
one, Altar.PI1, is the low resolution Degas
picture of the original cad 3d image. The
second one, Altar.TGA, is a 24 bit color 320
x200 picture rendered with POV Raytrace. The
original .3d2 file was converted to POV format
with the 3d2topov utility. I then edited the
.pov file to change the textures and add a
"sky" and "floor". It took over 11 hours to
trace the picture on a 386sx-16 w/out a math
coprocessor. I recommend using Pchrome3 to
view the .tga file on standard ST's. This is
a good example of the fantastic results you
can get using cad 3d or cyber sculpt as a
front end for POV raytrace. If you have any
comments, ideas, suggestions, etc. leave
email to S.BURTON2.
