- This is the RAD Radiosity Rendering package, ported to 386 machines running
- DOS using the WatCom C/386 Ver.9 compiler. It is compiled with all
- optimizations (including the new 486 options).
-
- I have made very few changes to this package, except for the addition
- of carriage returns to the original (unix) files, and a few changes
- in the source code, marked by __BORLANDC__ and __WATCOMC__. All files
- present in the original distribution .tar archive are included here, and
- I have preserved the (wacky) directory structure. All original copyrights
- are retained by the author. This is an untested implementation! Use this
- package at your own risk!
-
- (Note that Borland C was used only to test-compile, and it is useless
- trying to do any rendering in 640k.)
-
- Sun Rasterfile format support is not provided in this 386 version, because
- I am too lazy to convert the struct header output to little-endian format.
-
- Note that a conversion program is included which will convert "Radiance"
- input files.
-
- See the file MAKEROOM.BAT for a sample image production sequence. I would
- be interested in any images produced with this package, and any stories
- of how much memory it requires... Upload images, input files, timings, code
- improvements to "The Graphics Alternative" BBS 510-524-2780
-
- Things (for other people) to do:
-
- - Add a Targa-24 output format option.
- - Send me lots of images, input files and code improvements
- in the mail.
- - Change all the "double" storage to "float" to reduce
- memory requirements.
- - Convert the preview program to VGA/SuperVGA.
- - Try out some of the rendering options, and tell me what they do.
-
-
- On to Radiance/386 (?)...
