- Polyray - an algebraic input rendering program

-
- Polyray is a combination of an extensive set of modelling primitives together
- with a comprehensive renderer (including both raytracing and polygon scan
- conversion). Models are specified in an ASCII file, which are then parsed,
- and subsequently rendered. An IBM-AT or compatible is the only platform
- currently supported. An 80386/80387 combination, or 80486 CPU plus at least
- 2Mb of RAM is required. (Other CPU/FPU combinations are available, however
- the RAM requirement is a minimum.)
-
- Polyray provides a number of distinct features, the most important of which
- are the freedom of use of expressions in the modelling file and the ability
- to render very complex mathematical surfaces.
-
- There are three archives necessary: plydoc.zip, plydat.zip, and plyexe.zip.
- These contain the documents for Polyray, a set of data files, and the
- executable.
-
- See the file "quickref.txt", or "polyray.doc" for details on the command
- line options and data file syntax.
-
- This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.
