Keywords: ray tracing intersection routines

Before I plunge into writing the routines to intersect solids
of rotation and solids of extrusion for our home-brewed
ray tracer, I thought I'd find out if anybody was willing
to share thier routines.  I am currently looking at implementing
the algorithms as described in "New Techniques for Ray Tracing
Procedurally Defined Objects" by James Kajiya [July 1983].

If you have better algorithms or better papers suggesting ways
to implement these routines, please let me know.

thanx,

jeff
