Title: RayStorm Rendering Software Made Source Code
Post by: Andre.Siegel on January 06, 2014, 11:55:50 AM

The MUI-based 3D rendering package RayStorm has been made open source by its original authors. You can download the sources at: https://github.com/privatosan/RayStorm

For information about the software (including screenshots), please visit the following cached web page: http://web.archive.org/web/19970327095719/http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_mhesse/raystorm.html

You can find 680x0 and PowerPC versions of the application on Aminet: http://aminet.net/search?query=raystorm


RayStorm consists of the Scenario scene modelling tool and the RayStorm rendering engine. They provide the following features...

Scenario Modeller

• Lets you visually create scenes in Top/Front/Right/Perspective and splitted view
• Create spheres, planes, boxes, lightsources and cameras
• Mesh objects: plane, sphere, box, torus, cone, tube
• Unlimited number of cameras to view scene from different directions
• Define surfaces for all objects, including brushes and textures
• Load external objects (Imagine TDDD files, AutoDesk 3DS files and RAW files)
• Save and load scenes (RayStorm Object file RSOB)
• Render scenes with RayStorm
• Preview of renderd scenes
• Preview in material requester
• Create visible lights and lens flares
• Undo/Redo

RayStorm Render

• Octree algorithm used for rendering
• Color, reflectivity, filter, altitude and specular mapping
• Flat, cylinder and sphere mapping
• Soft brush mapping
• Mathematical textures: wood, marble, radial, bumps, checker, linear, stars
• Tranparency and physically correct refractions
• 8 levels of antialiasing (adaptive supersampling)
• Rendering box
• Three builtin object types: sphere, plane and triangle
• Three light types: ambient, point and spot
• Depth of field with adjustable focal distance and aperture
• Depth of field
• Soft shadows
• Backdrop picture
• Global fog and foggy objects
• Material attributes for realictic objects: ambient color, diffuse color, specular color, pecular reflection exponent, diffuse transmission color, specular
• transmission color, specular transmission exponent, specular transmittance, transparent color, reflective color, index of refraction, foglength
• Bright objects
• Motion blur for realistic animations
• Motion blur
• Quick rendering
• Global reflection map
• Supported image formats: TGA, IFF-ILBM, PNG, (JPEG since v2.0)
• Visible lights and lens flares

Great!

Now where can ordinary users download a working binary with the corresponding keyfile?
