For those interested in raytracing, the newest version of my raytracer
DKBTrace version 2.01 is now available by anonymous ftp from
alfred.ccs.carleton.ca in the directory pub/dkbtrace.
This raytracer supports:
- Spheres, planes, quadrics, triangles, smooth triangles
- CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry)
- Hierarchical bounding volumes
- Procedural Textures (wood, marble, bozo, agate, wrinkled, ...)
- Transparency
- Texture Mapping (IFF and GIF supported)
- Antialiasing
- 24 bit output
- Fog
- Usual raytrace stuff (reflections, refractions, shadows, etc)
- Resolutions up to 32K by 32K
- Optional Targa format output files
- Utility to import Sculpt3D format files
The program is freely distributable and C source is included. DKBTrace
runs on all Amiga's (a special 68881 version is included for A2500's),
IBM PC's (running Turbo C), and UNIX systems (some customizations may be
needed depending on the system).
Responses to this post are being directed to comp.graphics.
Questions and comments may be sent to David_Buck@Carleton.ca or

Enjoy.

For IBM PC users, I've put three .zip files onto alfred.ccs.carleton.ca (134.117.1.1) containing the latest IBM version of DKBTrace, the executables for systems with and without an 8087, and a Beta version of a dxf to DKB format file convertor. The IBM version of DKBTrace is being maintained by Aaron Collins who can be reached on a BBS called "You can call me Ray" in Chicago - (708) 358-5611. Alternatively, you can EMail me and I will pass along the messages. Questions on the raytracer itself can be directed to me at dbuck@ccs.carleton.ca.
