DKBTrace
This ray tracer was written by David K. Buck and is released as freely
distributable software. The author retains all copyrights but permits
free distribution of the software through any medium. The software may
be used without charge so long as the code is not included in any
commercial product.
The Amiga archive here contains two versions of the raytracer:
traceffp - Fast Floating Point version of the raytracer.
This version will run on any Amiga with sufficient
memory.
trace881 - Math coprocessor version. This version will only
run on 68020 or 68030 based systems that have a
68881 or 68882 math coprocessor.
I usually like having a fairly large stack for this program. If it
crashes on you, try inceasing the stack size.
The program documentation can be found in the file DKB.DOC and the
documentation for some Amiga specific utilities may be found in
AmigaUtils.doc.
This program is being distributed in four separate packages:
DKBTrace.lzh: Executables for traceffp and trace881
documentation files
DumpToIFF and Sculpt2DKB executables
DKBData.lzh Many sample data files
DKBSource.lzh Source code for DKBTrace, Amiga utilities, and
IBM Utilities.
DKBPics.lzh Sample pictures produced by the raytracer.
(you could render these yourself using the
data files in the DKBTrace.lzh archive)
There is a document in the DKBTrace.lzh archive which describes the
conversions required to use data files for DKBTrace version 1.2 with
the new 2.0 version. This file is called 12to20.doc
This readme file is in all three archives.
