Ray tracer!! Weee!!
 

OMG, took me about 5 hours, but I finally wrote my first raytracer in AVS! It has a diffuse lit ball, and a background.

What ya'll think of it?

Not bad :). I did the same thing a while ago, but it drew the entire picture in one scope (much slower) and had reflections/procedural textures.

Impressive technically, but not a preset I'd watch while listening to music.

i like it, but steven's preset was better, (it was VERY slow but it was better)

Where is UnConed's ray tracer scope? I hear great things about it. And as for reflections/procedural textures, that's my next challenge.

/me had to dig a while but here it is

i will warn you, it's VERY slow
my advice is to run it in the editor window (& with pixeldoubling, for very slow computers)

I agree with whoever it was that said it's very good technically, but of no practical use whatsoever. Sort of like me. (No, not my presets - me.)

cool
I did one 2 just now based on Unconeds water cube it didnt take much work moastly copy/paste but looks ok
