- POLAR 1.0
- By: John Hammerton
- Polar 1.0 is a gutted version of my CamPath program. CamPath (available
- on the You Can Call Me Ray BBS), creates animations for the DKB and PoV
- ray-tracers by moving the camera through a user defined polar path.
- This version (Polar 1.0) was written as a utility for CTDS by Truman Brown
- (Connect The Dots Smoother), and has NOTHING to do with animations. This
- program lets you design a 2 dimensional polar (trigonometric) shape and save
- it to disk as a series of points. The output format is CTDS compatible and can
- then be turned into a smooth object, which is at <0 0 0> & lies in the XZ plane.
- You are asked for your input on size, shape, radius and number of points
- (Dots) and are given a preview of the shape. You can then SAVE this data for
- input into CTDS (which in turn will give you DKB/PV-Ray compatible output.)
- Disclaimer: Polar v1.0 does NOT have a delete function and could only harm
- an existing file if it saves 'over' it with the same name. It also can NOT
- access any file except for the data file it creates. It allows YOU to name
- this file so there's no mix-ups. Therefore, I cannot be held liable for any
- damages resulting from the use or misuse of this program.
-
- Please direct any problems you have with this program to me and I'll do my
- best to try to help. This was not a joint project, therefore CTDS is NOT
- included with this utility. Please do not bother Truman for a problem you
- encounter while using CTDS with POLAR-created files. Try me first.
