Subject: Upload of RTrace to ics.uci.edu
I have uploaded several files to Think-C archive.
---------------
RTrace-1.0-app.cpt.hqx:
This file contains the Mac-RTrace-1.0 application and complete manuals
in Microsoft Word and TeachText format. This version of RTrace
requires at least a Mac with a 68020/68881 FPU but it is possible
to build a version from the source that does not have this
restriction.
Two small scene files (demo.sff and sphere.sff) are included.
---------------
RTrace-1.0-src.cpt.hqx:
This is the source distribution for Mac-RTrace-1.0. It requires
Think-C-5.0 to compile it and you can (optional) use the "Balloon Writer"
from APDA in order to add the Balloon help to it once you've built it.
---------------
RTrace-fly-thru.cpt.hqx:
NOTE: QuickTime-1.5 is required to play back this movie.
It was created with the new "Compact Video" compressor using
the "high quality" setting.
---------------
RTrace-1.0-scenes.cpt.hqx:
This file contains about 50 scenes for use with Mac-RTrace.
Included in this package are: many molecular models such as DNA, Jet
aircraft, a triceritops dinosaur, and numerous examples of textures.
More scenes may be obtained via FTP at asterix.inescn.pt [192.35.246.17].
But please restrict access to the nighttime (in Portugal) hours
of 19:00 to 08:00 GMT (Greenwich Universal Time).
You will need RTrace in order to create and animate these scenes.
RTrace was written by Antonio Costa at INESC-Norte in Portugal. The
MacIntosh version was written by Greg Ferrar at Ohio State and myself
(Reid Judd at Illuminati).
RTrace supports these capabilities:
point lights, directional lights, spot lights with fall-off, extended
lights, 2 ways of defining surfaces, spheres, axis-aligned
parallelipipeds, cylinders, cones, bicubic patches, polygons,
polygonal patches, high quality 3D text, CSG operations,
4x4 matrix transformations, textures, depth of field, diffuse
distribution, stereoscopic pair creation, ...
Procedural textures (with 4x4 matrix transformations) are also
supported: checkerboard, color blotches, marble, bump map,
fractal-brownian-motion, wood, glossy, image mapping, waves,
and many others.
Mac-RTrace uses parametric equations (using an algebraic equation
parser) to define animations and it outputs PICT images, PPM images,
and (of course) QuickTime movies.
Enjoy,
