Greetings Fellow CBM'ers.
 
  I have a totally off the wall request but I thought Id throw it at you.

  Does anyone know enough about Ray-tracing to collaberate with me on a
programming venture to create such a program for the 128?
 
  I know its may just be a pipe dream but Im not a complete fool.  I was
thinking something along the lines of 640x200 monocrome ray tracing.

  Am I dreaming ???  Furthermore on the same subject, does anyone even know
enogh about ray tracing to explain to me how it works????

  I have  spent time messing about on a freings Ami 3000, and fell in love with
Scultp 4d,  I wanteed to know what kind of algorithms could be used.

  Im thinking about programming it in pascal, for speed, or maybey even haveing 
the actuall math-work in ML, and the user interface compiled basic.  
 
  Please keep in mind Im talking SIMPLE stuff here.  reall simple.  But i was
curious to see if it could be done.  (maybey even 40 col mode????)

  I am curios what you Experts have to say about it.

  Thanks.
