- Yep, this was some ray files I was working on.
- If you have read USENET this week around the AMIGA GRAPHICS
- echoes, you have probably read some of my mail
- about this rayshade package. It is fantastic, but
- hard to learn. The files I have uploaded, I uploaded
- with a wildcard, so some of the files may not be proper
- Rayshade files. I know hall3.ray is proper, and is the
- one I used to trace Hall10.jpg. That picture took *2* days
- to render on our UNIX system, but later I found out that
- the SU's had lowered my priority. Nevertheless,
- it looks awfully royal looking. Some people call it a
- golden donut, and a PC friend called it a golden egg
- dropping in front of a pillar. All it was was a accident.
- I was playing around with SCALE and SURFACE a lot.
-
- The EGG used BUMP, REFLECTION and I think a water like
- property.

- You might want to remove it and play around with the silver sphere
- just below it. The Grey spheres are part of an experiement I tried.
- The great thing about textual rendering programs (over
- graphical ones) is that you can make programs that automatically
- write scenes using functions and 3D plots. The grey spheres
- were arranged using SIN and COS functions in UNIX pascal.
