Disappointing
grey-am-garden- Pros
- Not got around to actually trying to do anything yet, so I can't say...
- Cons
- Having to learn a programming language
- Summary
- I looked through all CNET's info on the program's requirements, but didn't see anything abouth learning a programing language - and had I done so, I may well have not bothered with it.
Exelent ray tracer!
Alain Martel1- Pros
- Extremely powerfull ray tracer. It's scene description language, od SDL, is very versatil, hugely powerfull. It's functions and macros enable you to create astounding images. You can create image of just about any size you want. The quality of it's output rivalize that of any high pirced professional product, you can dreate images that can pass for a professionaly taken photo! <p>If you have problems, there is a dedicated news server hosting several groups. The peoples on these groups are realy helpfull and frendly, eager to share ther knowlege and help you find solutions to your problem.
- Cons
- Some basic knowlege in programing will help. A good grasp of mathematics is a must, dig up those high school mathematics and trigonometry manuals. It's NOT a modeler and there is no preview.
