- Hi! I'm interested in ray-tracing on the PC. I wondered if anyone could help
- me compile a list of software I should investigate. I know 3d Studio 2.0 is
- probably the be-all and end-all of modellers on the PC, but I cannot justify
- spending over $500. I have no preferance for Windows over Dos, but I would
- like a GUI interface. Also, compatiblity between modellers is important, as I
- would like to build a library of objects from the public domain.
-
- As a start, I've heard of Persistance of Vision and Imagine. I would
- appreciate contacts for both of them. More importantly, I would like candid
- opinions of these pieces or any other available on the PC.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
