Raytracing
Some time ago there was information on the forum about a raytracing product
called Mirage.
>> Mirage* is a raytracing engine for 3D Studio which will be released
November 1st. A preliminary demo version, Mirage* 1.99, will be offered as a
supplement to our book. This is a true raytracer which will accept all data
from any binary .3ds file. That's right !! Even material libraries, cameras,
and lights will import seamlessly. This demo version will raytrace .3ds files
but will only display them to the screen. The final release will save in
various formats as well as allow for the specific screen region or specific
objects to be rendered only! Our development team ported Mirage* from the SGI
platform and we plan to have a major update to Mirage* within 3 months (release
3). Our current plans are for this version to actually work from within 3DSR3
as an IPAS routine. Look for additional announcements on this product in
October.<<
Does anyone have any information on this product or any other IPAS program for
raytracing images. Thanks in advance for any help.
