Before I plunge into writing the routines to intersect solids of rotation and solids of extrusion for our home-brewed ray tracer, I thought I'd find out if anybody was willing to share thier routines. I am currently looking at implementing the algorithms as described in "New Techniques for Ray Tracing Procedurally Defined Objects" by James Kajiya [July 1983]. If you have better algorithms or better papers suggesting ways to implement these routines, please let me know. thanx, jeff
