Short: POV-raytracer, version 2.2, all neccessary amiga files Type: gfx/3d or gfx/misc ------------------- Persistence of Vision Raytracer Version 2.0 Basic Information ------------------------------- Architecture: m68k-amigaos The Persistence of Vision Raytracer creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray tracing. It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file. Ray tracing is not a fast process by any means, but it produces very high quality images with realistic reflections, shading, perspective, and other effects. The POV-Ray package includes detailed instructions on using the raytracer and creating scenes. Many stunning scenes are included with POV-Ray so you can start creating images immediately when you get the package. These scenes can be modified by the user also so they don't have to start from scratch. In addition to the pre-defined scenes are a large library of predefined shapes and materials that can be used in your own scenes by just typing the name of the shape or material. POV-Ray is easy to use, and also includes many advanced features like bezier patches, blobs, height-fields, bump mapping, and material mapping. POV-Ray can be used on IBM-PC and compatibles, Apple Macintoshes, Commodore Amiga's, UNIX, and other computers.
