> As you see RayMan 1.5 supports animation but is still a pure raytracer. Why this? Because you might use the 3DS(MAX) A-Buffer and plug in RayMan 2.0 in the renderer pipeline. So there is no need for us to develope an own A-Buffer…< I did notice the lack of ray tracing in the 3DS MAX info when so many people had it as a wishlist item. I think Yost Group did they right thing. They opened up the program to allow ray tracing, or any rendering type (radiosity!), to be added by third parties. That also meant they didn't have to dedicate time and resources to writing their own ray tracing code when there are others who already have a head start (ie Rayman).
