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???? :-)))))

 I don't have make a file.guide because i think that Frontray is very
 intuitive (for the POVRay user, and at who will be useful otherwise ????)
 You read the various files .doc in the povray archive if you don't
 understand that i have said.


 Know bugs: No for now. If you find one, please to report it to me.

 Suggestions: Are the bread of the programmers.

 Acknowledgments: Thanks to authors of Amiga-E and MUI and

 Complaints: only if constructive


 Gifts: 060/PPC board are the lowest price that i accept.....for to continue
        development by POVRay,
        but if these is very expensive for you, then i accept 10$ or 15DM as
        well.....to:
