Straight from the dragon's mouth (so to speak) comes the source from "Illumination and Color in Computer Generated Imagery" by Roy Hall. It's now available via anonymous ftp from: freedom.graphics.cornell.edu (128.84.247.85) It's under pub/Hall and comes in two files: 1) README (of course) which also contains some code necessary to convert 2) code.tar.Z.a which contains the actual code. So, as always, read README first. Those of you who do not have ftp access may wish to drop me a short line (a Subject: of "gimme roy's source" is adequate). If there's enough interest I'll post to this group, if not I'll (shudder!) attempt to mail it right to you. Also of interest on freedom are the Ray Tracing News archives (under pub/RTNews) and the Xcu Widget Set. (Sorry, this code available only in stores, no mailing.) fishing in McElligot's Pool, to'c
