I've placed a new version of DKBTrace onto alfred.ccs.carleton.ca (134.117.1.1)
for beta testing - and for those who just can't wait :-). The source files and
data files for DKBTrace version 2.10 can be obtained by anonymous ftp from the
above site. They are in directory pub/dkbtrace/dkb2.10. No executables are
available at this time.
Abstract:
DKBTrace is a freely-distributable raytrace program that renders quadric
shapes, CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry), and a handful of other primitive
shapes. Shadows, reflection, refraction, and transparency are also supported.
DKBTrace also allows you to define complex an interesting solid textures
such as wood, marble, "bozo", etc. The texturing facility has been greatly
enhanced in version 2.10.
NOTE: The data files for version 2.10 are NOT completely compatible with
previous versions. Old data files must be modified to run on the
new raytracer.
Please report any problems or questions to me at dbuck@ccs.carleton.ca.
I'm also starting up three mailing lists for people interested in the
following aspects of DKBTrace:
- General Questions and Problems with DKBTrace
- Porting DKBTrace to various platforms
- Writing a graphical user interface for DKBTrace
(note: I don't intend to write a graphical user interface, but
several people have expressed an interest, so I thought I
should at least maintain a mailing list for these people
so they can keep in touch).
If you want to be added to any (or all) of these mailing lists, please
send me an EMail message indicating which mailing lists you're interested
in.
The final release of version 2.10 should be in one or two weeks. I will
post another announcement at that time.
