[Don't you hate people who don't put line eater fod I've noticed that the 68881 version of TurboSilver (V3.01SV, dated 5/5/89) will not ray-trace a chrome ball correctly on my 3000 (under both 1.3 and 2.0). The sun's hot spot comes out huge; adjusting specularity and hardness does not help. Has anyone else had this problem, either on a 3000 or with some other math-coprocessor equipped Amiga? Thanks. The 68000 version, BTW, works fine. Dave Schreiber at davids@cup.portal.com Test quote #2, from the 1990 U.C.

I've also called Impulse; they hadn't heard of the bug, but promised to look into it. I just hope, especially with Imagine coming out, that Impulse takes the time to fix it. -Dave Schreiber at davids@cup.portal.com (but please use davids@ucscb.ucsc.edu after Thursday).
