- RTAG is a program to facilitate the generation of ray traced
- animations. RTAG is not a ray tracing program; rather, it
- enables you to generate the appropriate position of objects
- to produce an animation using the ray tracing program of
- your choice. RTAG compiles a programming language designed
- for animation generation. This programming language is
- similar to C and contains full arithmetic expressions,
- conditional control, looping, and a rich set of library
- functions including spline path generation. The output of
- RTAG is a set of files that can be used with ray tracing
- programs such as POV-Ray, or other ray tracers, to produce
- an image for each frame. It also produces the appropriate
- .BAT file to render the sequence of images.
-
- Hardware requirements: IBM PC compatible computer with at
- least 512KB memory.

-
- RTAG is a shareware program. Users are granted a 30 day trial use.
- If it is used beyond the trial period a registration fee must be sent
- to the author. The registration fee is $20 for shipments in the USA
- or $25 for shipments outside of the USA. Registered users receive the
- most recent version of the program, a laser-printed, bound manual, and
- three months of telephone support.
-
- You are welcome to make copies of this program and pass them on to
- friends or post this program on bulletin boards or distribute it via
- disk catalog services provided the entire RTAG distribution is
- included in its original, unmodified form. A distribution fee may be
- charged for the cost of the diskette (or CD ROM), shipping and
- handling. However, RTAG may not be sold, or incorporated in another
- product that is sold, without the permission of Phillip H. Sherrod.
- Vendors are encouraged to contact the author to get the most recent
- version of RTAG.
