Howdy, I grabbed the sources to DBWRender off ab20 and tried to compile them with Lattice C... The sources compile fine, but after starting the trace my '3000 becomes _very_ sluggish and never appears to write out anything to disk. I haven't let it run for a night to see if it's just REAL heavy load on the CPU, but I don't recall it behaving this way on my PC clone at all. Anyone have any success stories or advice for me?

I am not sure what version of DBWrender you are using...or whether it has
ever been updated. Years ago (about 5) I rendered half a dozen pictures
on my 512K, one floppy A1000. Most of them took between 12 and 24 hours.
However, it did handle refraction better than any ray tracer I have ever
seen (including Turbo Silver, Sculpt, Imagine, and Lightwave).

Does anyone have a compiled version of DBW Render that renders in full 24 bits and overscan interlace? I tried it myself, but I had no luck finding all the right places to change. Thanks. Rick Tillery (drtiller@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu)
