- -------------------------------------
-
- 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!
