A Simple Example

Because provides a default camera description, surface properties, and a default light source, it is easy to construct short input files that allow you to experiment with objects, textures, and transformations. If you haven't already run on one of the example input files, you might want to try producing an image using the following input:

   sphere 2 0 0 0

If you are running on a UNIX-like machine, the command:

  echo "sphere 2 0 0 0" | rayshade > sphere.rle
