- Subject: Upload of RTrace to ics.uci.edu
-
-
- I have uploaded several files to Think-C archive.
-
- ---------------
- RTrace-1.0-app.cpt.hqx:
-
- This file contains the Mac-RTrace-1.0 application and complete manuals
- in Microsoft Word and TeachText format. This version of RTrace
- requires at least a Mac with a 68020/68881 FPU but it is possible
- to build a version from the source that does not have this
- restriction.
-
- Two small scene files (demo.sff and sphere.sff) are included.
-
- ---------------
-
-
- RTrace-1.0-src.cpt.hqx:
-
- This is the source distribution for Mac-RTrace-1.0. It requires
- Think-C-5.0 to compile it and you can (optional) use the "Balloon Writer"
- from APDA in order to add the Balloon help to it once you've built it.
-
- ---------------
-
- RTrace-fly-thru.cpt.hqx:
-
- NOTE: QuickTime-1.5 is required to play back this movie.
- It was created with the new "Compact Video" compressor using
- the "high quality" setting.
-
- ---------------
-
- RTrace-1.0-scenes.cpt.hqx:
-
- This file contains about 50 scenes for use with Mac-RTrace.
- Included in this package are: many molecular models such as DNA, Jet
- aircraft, a triceritops dinosaur, and numerous examples of textures.
- More scenes may be obtained via FTP at asterix.inescn.pt [192.35.246.17].
- But please restrict access to the nighttime (in Portugal) hours
- of 19:00 to 08:00 GMT (Greenwich Universal Time).
-
- You will need RTrace in order to create and animate these scenes.
-
- RTrace was written by Antonio Costa at INESC-Norte in Portugal. The
- MacIntosh version was written by Greg Ferrar at Ohio State and myself
- (Reid Judd at Illuminati).
-
- RTrace supports these capabilities:
- point lights, directional lights, spot lights with fall-off, extended
- lights, 2 ways of defining surfaces, spheres, axis-aligned
- parallelipipeds, cylinders, cones, bicubic patches, polygons,
- polygonal patches, high quality 3D text, CSG operations,
- 4x4 matrix transformations, textures, depth of field, diffuse
- distribution, stereoscopic pair creation, ...
-
- Procedural textures (with 4x4 matrix transformations) are also
- supported: checkerboard, color blotches, marble, bump map,
- fractal-brownian-motion, wood, glossy, image mapping, waves,
- and many others.
-
- Mac-RTrace uses parametric equations (using an algebraic equation
- parser) to define animations and it outputs PICT images, PPM images,
- and (of course) QuickTime movies.
-
- Enjoy,
