Description

A widely used ray tracing package, Persistence of Vision's Ray Tracer (POV-ray) is based on David Buck's original ray tracer, DKB-Trace. POV-ray is currently developed and supported by members of CompuServe Graphics Developers' Forum. The first stage of the process is describing what you want to depict, either by using an interactive modeling system like a CAD package, or by creating a text file which uses a programming language-like syntax to describe the elements of the image. In both cases, you have to specify the objects, their shape, their location, their color, their texture and their illumination. Then you input the information to the raytracer program and wait (and wait and wait...raytracing isn't speedy) for its output (the image).
