Ray Tracer Quick Start
------------------------------

------------------------------
Buiding
------------------------------

(Only required if this is a source archive)

After untarring the archive, enter the raytracer/ directory and type:

gmake

to build. We have tested building on both the Solaris SPARC and and
Solaris x86 instructional machines (in addition, it should compile OK
on Mac OS X/Darwin and Linux using make instead of gmake).

While our code is portable, and doesn't require any external libraries
(unless you compile the xrt X Windows target which is optional), the
system needs perl.

------------------------------
Using
------------------------------

Usage:

./praytrace [options] scenefile

Where options is:

 -r resolution
 -w res_width
 -h res_height
 -o outputfile
 -a antialias_level

------------------------------
Making Scenes
------------------------------

To learn how to make scene files and further options about
the raytracer, see:

http://magnus99.dhs.org/~raytracer/sdl.html

Or www/sdl.html in this directory for further documentation. Many
sample models are available for testing in the models/ directory.
