POV - "Persistance Of Vision" Ray Tracing - 3D on a budget |
|
| POV |
This is a public domain ray tracing program with versions available for almost any platform. This ray tracer can do just about anything. All kinds of interesting effects, smoke, haze, fog, luminosity, sparks, animation, etc. etc. etc. Version 3 seems to be bug free compared to earlier releases |
Modelers that output POV files |
|
| Breeze Designer |
For Windows 95. Features real time partial rendering. One of the best shareware modelers |
| POVSB |
Very nice shareware modeler, many of the features in common with Breeze Designer |

Powerful shareware modeler, includes a really nice texture builder. Each version gets better and better. |
Other Modelers |

Commercial modeler from South America is quite complete. Demo version available. Full version has a proprietary ray tracer. |
Other Graphics Programs |

| JASC |
Makers of Paint Shop Pro and other reasonably priced 2D graphics software. I use PSP V5 extensively. JASC includes a very nice GIF animation editor with PSP. |
