Some background information
I'm not going to explain raytracing here, just giving the
general background. These pictures represent my first experiments
with POVRAY, the Persistence Of Vision RAY-tracer, a
fantastic freeware program. They were made in the fall of
1993, the text input was written on my old XT-computer, the
images themselves traced on the 486 of a friend who was on
holiday. Not that I think them such a big deal, but they're
all I have to offer presently. The XT broke down and there was
no more raytracing for a long long time. That situation is on
the mend now, and I hope to start creating new images soon.
I've presented my material here as an exercise in Hypertext
Markup Language and web-authoring. Doing the graphics was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy them.

What's new? May 5 1996. I started doing a series of ray-tracings based upon Ville Saari's chess-pieces.
