I only received two replies to this question. Here they are: ================================================================== From alan@msc.edu Mon May 13 18:40:04 1991 I wrote a raytracer for the Connection Machine, written in (mostly) standard Fortran 90. It can read Neutral File Format models and uses Goldsmith & Salmon's automatic heirarchy generation to create the bounding volumes. We videotaped some flybys over Eric Haines' fractal sphereflake that look pretty cool. It will eventually be submitted to one of the anonymous FTP archives, but for now I'm willing to distribute a beta-test copy to anyone who is interested. Alan E. Klietz (AHPCRC) Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc. 1200 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55415 ph: +1 612 626 1737 Internet: alan@msc.edu ----------- =============================================================== From Eric Haines: RayShade is also parallelizable, actually; it uses LINDA. -- J.

Maybe the topic has been hashed to death on the net (here and in comp.graphics) and maybe we are suffering burn out. I integrated the last parallel ray tracer biblio into my biblio (what few articles I didn't have at the time). --eugene miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@orville.nas.nasa.gov Resident Cynic, Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers {uunet,mailrus,other gateways}!ames!eugene
