A little while ago someone mentioned that no new images had been put in the public ftp sites in the last few months. I also noticed that lack of activity and am curious about it. Has everyone stopped using the public domain ray-tracers? I'm more interested in seeing computer generated images than in digitized ones, although a bathing suit in the root window is nice now and then. Anyway, I've just uploaded an image I made this last summer at Data General to geomag.gly.fsu.edu (128.186.10.2). It was made using Pixar's Reyes renderer and comes in a few sizes... avn_vga.gif 320x200 looks best on a VGA for the pc avn_mac.gif 640x480 looks best on a Mac II avn_ati.gif 800x600 looks best on an ATI VGA Wonder for the pc These are in the directory /pub/pics/gifs. By the way, for those of you that like to see good looking computer generated images, take a look at fractint10. Fractint10 is a public domain program that generates about 3 zillion types of fractals and support about 12 billion kinds of graphics modes for the pc. You can even map the resulting images (and any GIF images for that matter) onto spheres. I think it's available on simtel20 in the directory pd1:<msdos.graphics>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When all other debuggers fail, try that little button that says 'DEGAUSS'" Jeff Butterworth Home: 509 N.
