I'm going to start work soon on a 3D modeling system, but I don't have
a "fast" renderer to use for testing.  As I'm more interested in creating
the model than writing a renderer, I'm looking for a PD scan-converter
which I can feed polygons and/or surface patches and get a bitmap out
of the other end.  Something along the lines of scan-conversion version
of the MTV raytracer or Rayshade would be nice.  I've used Rayshade and
it's a very nice package, but raytracing isn't really what I'm looking
for.

The optimum beast would be written in c, be somewhat unix compatible
and provide flat, gouraud, and phong shading, anti-aliasing (a-buffer 
would be nice), texture mapping, etc., etc., etc. (I sure seem to be 
asking for a lot :-)

I've checked most of the archives I know.  I AM finding a lot of raytracers
but nothing that fits my bill.

Please let me know if you have any pointers...

thanks,
