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 -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1419 693 51.1% 17-Oct-95 22:36:42 +attrtest.ray 3086 811 73.7% 17-Oct-95 22:36:40 +attrtest1.ray 878 526 40.0% 16-Oct-95 23:01:58 +brush.ray 1076 564 47.5% 16-Oct-95 23:08:08 +bump.ray 1367 567 58.5% 21-Oct-95 09:52:44 +checker.ray 800 483 39.6% 16-Oct-95 23:14:14 +chess.ray 1214 606 50.0% 21-Oct-95 10:15:58 +dof.ray 965 549 43.1% 17-Oct-95 20:02:00 +fog.ray 938 553 41.0% 21-Oct-95 10:40:06 +im_texture.ray 789 480 39.1% 21-Oct-95 10:45:50 +randomsph.ray 910 555 39.0% 21-Oct-95 10:59:34 +title.ray 907 539 40.5% 05-Nov-95 21:21:00 +backdrop.ray 1922 878 54.3% 22-Oct-95 09:55:54 +bounce.ray 1081 653 39.5% 21-Oct-95 10:03:08 +coin.ray 1478 720 51.2% 05-Nov-95 21:21:28 +eight.ray 999 548 45.1% 21-Oct-95 10:32:12 +fog1.ray 1089 546 49.8% 21-Oct-95 10:42:02 +marble.ray 892 523 41.3% 18-Oct-95 18:18:52 +simple.ray 915 541 40.8% 21-Oct-95 10:49:20 +supersample.ray 809 492 39.1% 21-Oct-95 09:48:40 +title1.ray 929 535 42.4% 21-Oct-95 10:51:44 +wood.ray 48956 12491 74.4% 18-Oct-95 07:41:54 +ReflectionMap.iff 47992 40276 16.0% 29-Mar-95 16:37:52 +earth.iff 33510 3852 88.5% 10-Jul-95 13:47:46 +eight_brush.iff 15204 9009 40.7% 18-Oct-95 19:27:16 +sphanim 8690 2587 70.2% 18-Oct-95 19:27:02 +sphanim.cpp 574 328 42.8% 18-Oct-95 19:27:02 +sphanim.cpp.info 10080 6406 36.4% 18-Oct-95 19:26:34 +worldanim 5174 1830 64.6% 18-Oct-95 19:26:22 +worldanim.cpp 514 307 40.2% 18-Oct-95 19:26:24 +worldanim.cpp.info 14608 6763 53.7% 09-Jul-95 11:50:04 +randomsphere.iob 158260 57370 63.7% 19-Oct-95 17:25:30 +chess.iob 1730 666 61.5% 21-Oct-95 09:59:50 +coin.iob 2296 1080 52.9% 10-Jul-95 18:17:46 +eight_queue.iob 185324 72176 61.0% 01-Aug-95 13:58:26 +title.iob 86528 35204 59.3% 21-Oct-95 09:27:08 +title_light.iob -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 643903 262707 59.2% 02-Dec-95 17:33:40 36 files
