- Hi.
-
- There is a new version of the RTrace ray-tracing package (7.3.1) at
- asterix.inescn.pt [192.35.246.17] in directory pub/RTrace
-
- I made important bug fixes and added new options, so it is expected to
- behave much better.
-
- Changes:
- - Computational Solid Geometry works fine, at last!
- - Removed memory problems (thanks to Reid Judd - reid.judd@east.sun.com)
- - Option [O] to choose output image format (PIC or PPM)
- - Option [V] to control verbosity of program
- - Default options set for preview (low quality)
-
-
- The package programs are related as below
-
- irit2scn
- IRIT -------------v
-
- sol2scn
- ACAD11 -----------v
-
- nff2sff scn2sff rtrace
- NFF -----------> SCN -----------> SFF ----------> PIC or PPM
- cpp
- pdb2scn
- PDB --------------^
-
-
- and lots of others...
-
- Other programs and stuff:
- - scn2sff had some problems corrected; it works fine with rtrace 7.3.1
- - for DOS, I have ported Eric Haines NFF scene generators and our tools
- for NFF files (translator to SFF, clean, etc). They are available in
- directory pub/RTrace/PC-386/src
- The DOS port of RTrace is in pub/RTrace/PC-386 (rtrac731.arj and
- rtprogs.arj)
- There are also demo scenes and manuals...
-
- Please feel free to get it and use it.
- Hope you like it.
-
- Regards,
- Antonio Costa.
-
- PS: I have also some converters for PC chemistry programs (CHEMICAL and
- ALCHEMY) and for Brookhaven PDB files which generate SCN files.
- If interested, tell me...
