This archive is freely distributable.
-------------------------------------
The file(s) in this archive were/was created for people desiring
3-dimensional text in their raytracing scenes. Depending upon the
raytracer you use (i.e., POV-Ray, Vivid, PolyRay, etc.) there several
different methods of creating 3-dimensional text. Modelled triangles
is simply one such method, with the "RAW" format being a common syntax
for the data. The file(s) in this archive are in the RAW format.
If you are using POV-Ray or Vivid, you should download Steve Anger's
RAW2POV (or a similar program) to convert and smooth the data into
the format of your raytracer of choice. To use this data with other
raytracers, check with the programmer to see if he/she knows of or
has written a conversion program for RAW data.
I hope you find this data useful. If not, what the heck ... it's free.
As time permits (or as the mood hits) I will be uploading an ongoing
series of .RAW names, words, and phrases to the Graphics Developers
forum on CompuServe (GO GRAPHDEV). If, however, you should desire a
custom set of .RAW letters, you can send me a blank diskette and $0.50
per letter (cheap) plus an extra $1.50 for postage and mailer.
Enjoy, and happy raytracing!
