REALIZE.ZIP 271674 10-01-94 A full-featured, one-step DXF to POV ver 2.0
| converter. For those not familiar with the
| .dxf file format - dxf (Drawing interchange
| file format) is a nearly universal format to
| convey drawing information. Most notable
| systems are AutoCad, AutoCad Lite, Cadkey,
| etc. REALIZE recognizes and converts: - 3D
| entities (polyface,3d faces,3d meshes) with
| automatic smoothing of faces (see Directive
| File Syntax) - 2D entities (line, circle,
| polyline, solids, arcs) with extended 2D
| features like beveling (see Directive File
| Syntax) - simple and nested blocks with
| texture assignment (see Samples) -
| representative blocks (see Representative
| Blocks) - layers with texture assignment (see
| Samples) - views - viewports - the full 256
| AutoCad color set with each color assignable
| to any POV pre-defined or user defined
| texture. This package has been tested
| extensively on .dxf files generated by
| AutoCad release 12. Any .dxf file that
| conforms to this standard and is readable by
| AutoCad should be convertible by REALIZE. Any
| .dxf file format which does not conform
| closely to this standard may produce
| problems.
RIBXYZ.ZIP 21972 07-30-92 RIBTOXYZ converts DCAD3D .RIBs to RAW
| triangles RIBtoXYZ converts .RIB RenderMan
| files, as output by DesignCAD 3D, to RAW
| triangle files for Steve Anger's RAW2POV.
| CAUTION, THIS IS NOT A FULL-FEATURED RIB
| CONVERTOR. DCAD outputs only polygons, and
| this program slices them down to triangles.
| DCAD's RIB output is a little better behaved
| than its DXF output, seems to pay better
| attention to vertex ordering, which is
| important to RAW2POV for smooth triangle
| normals. DOS .EXE and C source included.
| Public Domain utility by Richard Newell.

| 1.6, DKBTrace, POV 0.5, Rayce 2.7, CTDS 3.0,
| Rtrace 8.30 (SCN) and Rayshade. Includes a
| center utility that centers triangle data
| about the point 0,0,0, a scale utility that
| scales triangle data on any axis, a utility
| to extract triangle points from scene files,
| and a preview mode to view triangle files.

SNDPPR3W.ZIP 163736 08-10-92 Reads triangle data and outputs with surface
| normals appended. Sandpaper is a simple
| little utility that reads in triangle data,
| then outputs that same triangle data with
| surface normals appended. This "polygon
| patch" or "smooth triangle" output can be
| used with a raytracing program to produce
| smooth looking surfaces, instead of the flat
| "faceted" look you get with triangles alone.
| Consider the difference between a geodesic
| dome and a smooth sphere, and you'll have the
| idea. (I've included a tiny, simple GIF file
| as an example).
