maybe the raytracing options could be put in their own sub-menu so most people wouldnt have to deal with them, but the people that want to do tracing can still have them. i dont see any reason to just kill the code... the people that do tracing usually dont mind recompiling fractint to fiddlewith things. and this is a lot easier than making custom scripts to make the RAW triagle output useable... maybe something useful would be a raw hightfield output type? for the tracers that cant read gif's for hightfields? (but i guess just using piclab is also a possibility). obviously specific hightfield output for each raytracer would be nice, but that takes coding :) (which ones cant input gifs for a hightfield besides rayshade? rayshade is of course my favorite..). -dan goldwater- daniel_goldwater@brown.edu dgold@math.umass.edu
