Hello all, does anybody out there happen to know of any versions of QRT (Quick Ray Tracing) program later than 1.5? If so could you please tell me where I can get hold of it? Also is the newest (2.0) version of DKB trace any easier to figure out than the old one? (I wasted many an hour trying to puzzle that program out and never made any signifigant progress. I'd like to use DKB 'cause it has many powerful options not (yet) supported by the 1.5 version of QRT. Thanks in Advance... James COLYER@silver.ucs.indiana.edu

The newest version on DKBraytrace is 2.10. it is available via ftp at alfred.ccs.carleton.ca in the /pub/dkbtrace directory. I have had much success ( so far ) with this version. The documentation has a walk-through of how to get started making the image description files. I have successfully compiled it on 3 different systems , although they are all unix based. There is a utility called Sculpt2dkb, which I belive converts sculpt description files to dkb descriptions ( albeit I have never tried it ). Jay R. Reher
