Short: FrontRay V1.0 (MUI Interface for POVRay) Author: ireneo@amiga.dei.unipd.it Uploader: ireneo@amiga.dei.unipd.it Version: 1.0 Type: gfx/misc ******** IDEA-TEAM ******** FrontRay 1.0 © Ireneo Toffano September 1996 FrontRay is a command-line front-end for the famous ray tracer 'POVRay'. ( You can found 'POVRay' at www site http://www.povray.org/ ) It use Magic User Interface (MUI) of Stefan Stuntz (You can found it and other Sasg products at beautiful site http://www.sasg.com). It was compiled with Amiga-E v3.2e of Wouter van Oortmerssen and it require AmigaOS=> 3.0 and MUI=>3.0. Why another GUI based program for POVRay??????. The target is to create an engine for the generation of sources in POVRay format with interface (MUI). The engine will have AREXX port to comunicate with future graphix editor for povray that they will to use to generate the source. For now , the main features of my program is to give a interface at the command line of POVRay and to manage animation in simple mode. In the section Rendering/Create Animation of Frontray you can define the internal variable (clock) of POVRay, how many frame would you to calculate in total ( if n is the number of actual frame, the clock variable of that frame will be equal to n*clock ) and how many simultaneously. These last feature turn useful by to have an preview of animation, in fact povray is run as many time as you have set in the 'Frame at time' string. It is obvious that to make use the 'Frame at time' animation, you must to have very much RAM and an CPU 040....->060.....->PPC???? :-))))) Author: Ireneo Toffano Via Guerzoni 14 35010 Cadoneghe - PD ITALY For comunications: E_Mail: ireneo@amiga.dei.unipd.it Amiga Professional BBS: Tel. +39-49-604488 ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1233 600 51.3% 21-Sep-96 18:57:20 FrontRay.info 457 297 35.0% 10-Sep-96 03:03:46 frontray/default.proj 79992 20430 74.4% 21-Sep-96 00:57:58 frontray/FrontRay 4735 1304 72.4% 21-Sep-96 18:57:20 frontray/FrontRay.info 2460 1244 49.4% 10-Sep-96 23:20:42 frontray/ReadMe.E 478 238 50.2% 21-Sep-96 18:57:20 frontray/ReadMe.E.info 2612 1359 47.9% 10-Sep-96 23:23:30 frontray/ReadMe.I 478 241 49.5% 21-Sep-96 18:57:20 frontray/ReadMe.I.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 92445 25713 72.1% 21-Sep-96 19:07:56 8 files ============================================================================
