D3PLOT 22.1

Ray Tracing

Ray Tracing

Rendering images using "realistic" lighting, including shadows, reflections and sophisticated visual properties.

This capability is new in D3PLOT 15.0, and very much in its infancy. It is *not*a "single button click to get a prettier picture" solution, and a fair amount of effort is required to get results that look impressive. It will continue to be developed, but at present it is quite crude.

It has been developed and tested on Windows, and while instructions for Linux download are given below this will only provide an older version that has not yet been tested. Feel free to experiment on Linux, but it almost certainly will not work "out of the box".
