POV-Ray Related Links

POV-Ray The famous free ray-tracer. Very powerful. Very cool.

Moray A Shareware scene modeler for POV-Ray. Very professionally done.

sPatch A free bezier patch modeler with POV-Ray output. A must if you want to do human bodies and such. (The sPatch homepage seems to have disappeared but you can download the program from the link to the left.)

MegaPOV site An unofficial patched POV-Ray with tons of new features. Photon mapping, UV-mapping, new patterns and object types and lots more.

Other Graphics Links

The GIMP Once upon a time there was a program called Photoshop. And the Gods of Adobe saw that it was good and a powerful force in the financial department. And lo the world bowed before it and many a corporate entity tithed great sums unto the juggernaut. But in the small eddys of open source a true maelstrom was brewing-- And the GIMP was born in the chaotic dreams of two University students. The GIMP is a replacement and enhancement on the incredibly successful Photoshop. It is extensible and easily usable by ordinary mortals. Now you can write your own plug-ins without having to know C or C++. The GIMP for Windows is here.

Fractint Homepage The Fastest, most comprehensive most powerful Fractal generation program known to mankind, all for the cost of a one meg download. Fractint development seems to have slowed down of late but the program is still a must have.

Programming Stuff

DJGPP A free 32-bit DOS compiler with tons of tools. This is a port of the free software foundation's GNU C/C++ compiler and tools.

Allegro ALLEGRO is a recursive acronym for Allegro Low Level Game Routines. It really rocks. It supports everything you might need for making a 2d game: Graphics, digital sound, midi music, joystick, mouse and keyboard handlers, blitting, sprites, 3d polygons etc. etc.. It comes only in source distro with build support for: DOS, Win9x (with DirectX), UNIX X-Windows, and Linux. Future support is planned for BeOS and maybe a few others.
