The documentation for the QRT ray tracer that recently appeared o comp.sources.misc or alt.sources that it was developed on an amiga, and also says that in order to display the resulting picture files a program called RAY2 is needeed to convert the raw image into IFF. This program was not included in the distribution. Does anyone know where this is available? -- -- Dan Howell <ivucsb!dan@anise.acc.com> -- <...!(pyramid|ucbvax)!ucsbcsl!nessus!ivucsb!dan> -- "What?

Could anyone direct me to (ftp) or mail me the executables for QRT including the post processor. I have the source, but can't seem to get it to work after compiling with Lattice 5.02. If possible , I would like to have a 68020/68881 copy as well as a 68000 version...Thanks in advance (Ps. If you're in the sending mood...DBW exetable would be neat) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Pawn@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Mass, U.S.A. | | Pawn@wpi.Bitnet main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I thought I heard someone mention that the source for QRT1.5 was available somewhere. If so does anyone know where? -Roger Uzun

Has anyone had any luck with QRT? I have the source code, and wrote my own make file, and it compiles without errors... It runs just fine...(2 hours on my Amiga, approx. 20 minutes on an Encore MultiMax) the problem is that QRT claims that it's output files should be readable by RAY2 from DBW_RENDER...this doesn't seem to be the case. I compiled Olif's new RAY2 and tried it...0 colors used out of 4096 I compiled the old RAY2 on my Amiga.......0 colors used out of 4096 I then tried the original display program....nope... Anyone? Is QRT just plain bad? thanks... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Pawn@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Mass, U.S.A. | | Pawn@wpi.Bitnet main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This file had to be fed to a program called `qrtpost'. Have you got this? The output from this program could be processed by `ray2'. This simple-minded Dillon(tm)-shell script ran everything for me: # run a ray-trace if $_passed df1:qrt <$_passed.qrt df1:qrtpost $_passed.raw $_passed.tmp df1:ray2 -c 0 -h 0 $_passed endif Don't forget to `up' your stack to a ridiculously high amount, and ChangeTaskPri your CLI to something nice like -5. >-- >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >| Pawn@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Mass, U.S.A. | >| Pawn@wpi.Bitnet main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } | >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Heffernan uunet!glyph!nichiren [1222 - 1282] -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry to post this here, but I remember seeing a reference to Quick Ray Trace running in unix. Since the sun at school is *slightly* faster than my amiga I thought I would use it to make some pictures. can anyone send me an ftp site address for this? thanks, jeff (jra1@ra.msstate.edu)
