I've been playing with a couple of public domain raytracers lately,
and I've been fairly impressed with some of them. What I don't seem
to be able to do is specify an RGB image (file) as a texture or
surface.

Has anyone modified rayshade, or do any other PD raytracers exist,
so that RGB images can be easily incorporated into the raytrace?

Any information at *all* is appreciated (I realise that I'll have to
majorly hack the source unless someone else has done it). (Unfortunately
email to me is crippled at the moment, so if you could post your reply,
that'd be fine.)
