Short: Fast raytracer with many features Author: heumann@hugo.rz.fh-ulm.de (Andreas Heumann) Uploader: heumann@hugo.rz.fh-ulm.de (Andreas Heumann) Type: gfx/3d 28 November 1995 RayStorm v1.15 by Andreas Heumann and Mike Hesser INTRODUCTION RayStorm has been written to be as fast as possible, and use as less memory as possible. Thus we have implemented a octree algorithm, and optimized all calculations as much as we could. This demo version is limited to a resolution of 160x128. The full version is unlimited. REQUIREMENTS (1) You will need at least Kickstart 2.0. (2) 020+-version: 68020 processor and a mathematical coprocessor (68881/882 or internal 68040/060 version). (3) 000-version: 68000 processor (should even run on a Amiga 500 (not tested)) (4) 1MB RAM minimum (5) RayStorm was written using MUI. So you need muimaster.library V2.0+ or later to run RayStorm. recommended: 68030, 68882, Harddisk, GFX-Board FEATURES - Up to 30% faster than Imagine (in trace mode). - ARexx-port. RayStorm can be used by all programs with ARexx-port. - Imagine compatible. RayStorm is designed to be almost compatible to Imagine. It can load Imagine objects and use Imagine textures. - Octree algorithm used for rendering. - Color, reflectivity, filter, altitude and specular mapping. - Flat, cylinder and sphere mapping. - Soft brush mapping. - Mathematical textures: wood, marble, radial, bumps, checker, linear, stars. - Tranparency and physically correct refractions. - 8 levels of antialiasing (adaptive supersampling). - Rendering box. - Three builtin object types: sphere, plane and triangle. - Three light types: ambient, point and spot. - Depth of field with adjustable focal distance and aperture. - Soft shadows. - Backdrop picture. - Global fog and foggy objects. - Material attributes for realictic objects: ambient color, diffuse color, specular color, specular reflection exponent, diffuse transmission color, specular transmission color, specular transmission exponent, specular transmittance, transparent color, reflective color, index of refraction, foglength. - Bright objects. - Motion blur for realistic animations. - Quick rendering. - Global reflection map. - Image formates: IFF-ILBM, PNG. - Object format: Imagine-TDDD - New image- and object-formats can be easily included because of the modular concept. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 24956 16513 33.8% 18-Oct-95 08:03:26 +bounce.anim 1240 677 45.4% 19-Oct-95 09:10:28 +bounce.anim.info 21740 7936 63.4% 09-Sep-95 18:15:54 +coin.anim 1240 676 45.4% 19-Oct-95 09:10:28 +coin.anim.info 53370 28160 47.2% 18-Oct-95 22:00:10 +coin_mblur.anim 1240 677 45.4% 19-Oct-95 09:10:28 +coin_mblur.anim.info 9016 7099 21.2% 08-Oct-95 14:23:16 +bump.iff 13736 10197 25.7% 08-Oct-95 14:14:02 +dof.iff 1240 721 41.8% 10-Aug-95 10:38:10 +RayStorm.guide.info 8976 4853 45.9% 08-Oct-95 21:17:30 +checker.iff 7510 3412 54.5% 27-Nov-95 18:53:58 +linear.iff 8880 5251 40.8% 28-Nov-95 18:29:40 +marble.iff 8652 4628 46.5% 28-Nov-95 18:06:44 +radial.iff 9064 3650 59.7% 27-Nov-95 18:34:48 +stars.iff 8236 5247 36.2% 27-Nov-95 19:31:34 +wood.iff 67771 21958 67.5% 28-Nov-95 22:04:14 +RayStorm.guide 6480 3513 45.7% 25-Nov-95 16:12:16 +checker.itx 6740 3570 47.0% 25-Nov-95 18:40:40 +linear.itx 900 497 44.7% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 anims.info 900 627 30.3% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 Docs.info 74835 74835 0.0% 10-Aug-95 13:34:58 Examples.jpg 1251 684 45.3% 28-Nov-95 22:34:46 Examples.jpg.info 7719 2318 69.9% 28-Nov-95 22:58:32 Install_RayStorm 13540 7243 46.5% 25-Nov-95 16:15:30 +bump.itx 12928 6703 48.1% 25-Nov-95 18:49:52 +marble.itx 8820 4919 44.2% 28-Nov-95 17:53:42 +radial.itx 5728 3422 40.2% 25-Nov-95 18:55:48 +stars.itx 17872 9483 46.9% 25-Nov-95 18:16:52 +wood.itx 1217 511 58.0% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 Install_RayStorm.info 78564 21529 72.5% 05-Nov-95 14:50:22 Modeller preview.iff 1251 687 45.0% 28-Nov-95 22:34:46 Modeller preview.iff.info 119440 45439 61.9% 30-Nov-95 17:35:38 RayStorm_000 998 418 58.1% 01-Nov-95 17:29:36 RayStorm_000.info 102956 39362 61.7% 30-Nov-95 17:44:52 RayStorm_020 998 418 58.1% 01-Nov-95 17:29:28 RayStorm_020.info 2427 1169 51.8% 28-Nov-95 18:36:28 Readme 959 369 61.5% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 Readme.info 969 485 49.9% 18-Oct-95 07:38:12 ReadMe.mui 959 370 61.4% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 Readme.mui.info 14108 7468 47.0% 21-Oct-95 09:17:48 Register 650 360 44.6% 28-Nov-95 22:34:48 Register.info 778 406 47.8% 28-Nov-95 18:34:26 Whats new.txt 959 374 61.0% 21-Oct-95 09:14:50 Whats new.txt.info 4736 2657 43.8% 28-Nov-95 19:31:16 +ilbm 94804 51362 45.8% 28-Nov-95 20:21:06 +png 52 46 11.5% 10-Nov-95 17:42:10 +types 4868 2753 43.4% 28-Nov-95 19:32:24 +ilbm 93284 50989 45.3% 28-Nov-95 20:41:18 +png 52 46 11.5% 10-Nov-95 17:42:10 +types 1380 685 50.3% 25-Nov-95 18:41:26 +linear.itx 4780 2866 40.0% 25-Nov-95 18:50:58 +marble.itx 4932 3004 39.0% 25-Nov-95 16:19:00 +bump.itx 1320 655 50.3% 25-Nov-95 16:10:30 +checker.itx 2856 1665 41.7% 28-Nov-95 17:53:28 +radial.itx 1224 755 38.3% 25-Nov-95 18:55:56 +stars.itx 6636 3960 40.3% 25-Nov-95 18:18:04 +wood.itx -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 952737 480277 49.5% 02-Dec-95 17:32:40 56 files
