You boys speak as though raytracing is relatively new. While I think it would be better to learn how to use the renderer w/o the GUI the fact still remains- CLI interfaces are difficult to use! I realize that at one point people didn't have the luxury of asking for a GUI but obviously when a technology has been around so long on different computers it's bound to generate software. Please, gentlemen, not all GUI users are wimps with no imagination we just don't want to get a degree in physics to have fun. Haven't you ever heard that the interface tends to stifle creativity by getting in the way? >A modeller will certainly help these folks get their first raytracing >done with much more ease than any of us had, but I'm afraid that, >like training wheels on a kid's bike, they'll get stuck at that level. Remember once the kid grows up the training wheels come off and then we get into the motorcycles!!!!!!!!! Without Helmets!!!!!!1 -Vic There are 3 Replies. Read action !
