Source Code for POV-Ray 3.1
There are six files here now (Last update 7/25/00)
1. Click here to download Polyhedral.zip
......This file contains polyhedral.inc, which allows one to
create the platonic and
archimedean solids. This .inc file completely replaces my earlier platonic.inc, as
it is easier to use, and allows much, much better results with CSG operations.
Note: because of the macro feature and the use of arrays, this file can only be
used with POV-Ray 3.1 or better.
2. Click here to download mobius.zip.....This zip contains mobius.inc, a macro
allows one to create mobius-strip like objects. Requires the following parameters: angle
object makes with strip-path, number of rotations around strip-path axis, number of objects in
mobius strip, and radius of path (it's a circle). This file is needed for one of the example
files in polyhedral.zip.
3. Click here to download thirty.zip.....This zip contains thirty.inc, a macro
allows one to create a thirty sided crytalline solid. Some dice used in roleplaying games
had this shape.
4. Click here to download life.zip.....This zip has an include
file that allows one to play Conway's life (a cellular automaton) in POV.
5. Click here to download cellular.zip.....This zip has an include
file that allows one to create a 1D cellular automaton in POV. Allows one to use 5 different objects (one for each living state) and 5 different colors for the living cells. Allows for user configured initial state and rules (or random for either or both). User example requires polyhedral.zip and thirty.zip
6. Click here to download blobcell.zip.....This zip has an include
file that does the same as above, except it uses blobs.
the potential for disgusting pictures is quite high.
7. Click here to download nebula.zip.....This zip has an include file that generates nebula like objects with different patterns. User example file included.
