- 3D2-POV Converter Version 1.8 Apr/93
- Copyright (c) 1993 by Steve Anger
-
- This program converts .3D2 files generated by the Atari programs CAD-3D and
- Cyber CAD to POV-Ray or Vivid raytracer scene files. Bounding shapes are
- automatically generated for POV-Ray to greatly reduce the rendering time.
-
-
- Hardware requirements:
-
- Two version of the executable are included in this archive, 3D2-POV.EXE and
- 3D2-POVX.EXE. The first version will run on all machines from XT's to 486's
- but is only capable of using 640k of memory. The second version requires a
- minimum of a 386 with a co-pro to run but can use all available memory plus
- up to 128M of virtual memory. It is compatible with most 386 memory managers
- but will not run under a DPMI server (Windows, OS/2).

- Options:
- -snnn - Generates smooth triangles. The boundaries between triangles
- are only smoothed if the angle between the triangles is less
- that nnn degrees. -s0 will not smooth any triangles while
- -s180 will smooth all triangles. Values from -s45 to -s90
- usually work well. If unspecified smoothing defaults to -s60.
-
