Raytrace for 3DS
18 messages in this thread
Anyone out there heard anything about teh MIRAGE raytracing engine from Payne
and Assoc? Will it ever be released? Do any other raytracers for 3DS exist?

Hi Mitch!
VisArt, Germany is developing a stand alone raytracer-engine for 3DSR3. We
showed some images on CeBit-Expo and last weeks we showed the program with its
user-interface on CADOpen.
The name of the raytracer is RAYMAN.
Can`t tell you all the features because there`re a lot highlights (like
adaptive anti-aliasing, soft-shadows, depth-cue, network-raytracing,
Hall-illumination-model and so on…).
If you`re interested we can take you as a beta-tester and send you a
beta-release. But you should test it…

Micheal, I would love to be a Beta tester for such a great product.
Please let me know more about what you need from me. In the meantime I'll give
you some info. I'm running 3DSr3 on a 90mhz Pentium w 32m ram, 1.5g hd and ATI
Mach 64 graphics card. I will be adding a PAR board very soon. My full time
job is as a 3D/2D artist with a 3DO game development company. I also do
freelance animation on the side. I'm fairly new on Compuseve, so I'm not too
sure about the policy on posting addresses and phone numbers. Will be waiting
for your reply Thanks, -Mitch Gates-

I posted a note almost identical to Mitch Gates" before I found this thread. I
too would be interested in beta testin RAYMAN. I am an industrial designer
doing a lot of glass shapes for the cosmetics industry and it would be great to
refractions in transparent glass. Please keep me in mind.
thanks

Michael,
PMJI, but I could not help but to get excited over the thought of an IPAS
Raytrace renderer for 3DS3. I am very interested as well in becoming a
Beta sight for such a product.
AZ-TECH, my company, is a computer animation, multimedia and
consulting firm specializing in 3D animation and Architectural
simulations. I am currently working on a video game for The Software
Toolworks and also did the cover to the Feb. issue of CADalyst
Magazine.
I have also been a beta sight for 3DS 2 and currently for MacroMedia
Director for the PC.
I can send you more information on myself and my company, what ever
it takes to become a Beta sight for this potentially terrific product.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
