[comp.graphics] Surface descriptors for 'rayshade'

mpogue@dg.dg.com (Mike Pogue) (03/20/90)

  Well, the voting is in.  A while ago (has it been so long?) I
posted a request for surface descriptors for rayshade, along
the line of:

	#define blue_glass 0.0 0.0 0.5 ....etc.

I got tons of mail from people wanting to know the same thing, 
but not a single response from anybody that actually contained
surface descriptors!

  I conclude that one of two things is happening:

	1) such surface descriptors do not exist
	2) those people who took the time to create them 
		don't want to share them.

  In any case, I promised to let people know what I found out,
so here it is:  NOTHING.

  Ah well, maybe all the rayshade addicts were on vacation, and
missed my posting!  Anybody who reads this and sends me rayshade
descriptors (or objects) or anything else, will get great thanks
from many people on the net.

  If anybody does send me anything, I will summarize and post it
to the net.  Thanks!
