I have a couple of public domain ray tracers [QRT (Quick Ray Tracer) and
DBW render and another one that I can't remember right now] I have the
source code and the executable ported to run under MS-DOS. They won't
ray trace in real-time but you can look at the source code to see how it
all gets done, aside from generating some cute pictures. If these programs
are not available from somewhere on the net I could post them, or mail them
to someone on the net so that other people can get them...sorry but there
is no FTP access here!
