Polyray - an algebraic input rendering program
(c) 1993 Alexander Enzmann
Version 1.7
All Rights Reserved
Polyray is a combination of an extensive set of modelling primitives together
with a comprehensive renderer (including both raytracing and polygon scan
conversion). Models are specified in an ASCII file, which are then parsed,
and subsequently rendered. An IBM-AT or compatible is the only platform
currently supported. An 80386/80387 combination, or 80486 CPU plus at least
2Mb of RAM is required. (Other CPU/FPU combinations are available, however
the RAM requirement is a minimum.)
Polyray provides a number of distinct features, the most important of which
are the freedom of use of expressions in the modelling file and the ability
to render very complex mathematical surfaces.
There are three archives necessary: plydoc.zip, plydat.zip, and plyexe.zip.
These contain the documents for Polyray, a set of data files, and the
executable.
See the file "quickref.txt", or "polyray.doc" for details on the command
line options and data file syntax.
This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
