Thanx for all the tips! OK, I tried Tachyon? and the help file works.
I also tried rendering some ray tracings as suggested in Tachyon? by constructing t=Tachyon() objects and all works very nicely! Some questions about Tachyon: (1) Is this the same tachyon by John Stone? If so, how is this a python file? I found John Stone's website documenting tachyon and its 12 years old! Was python so robust back in 1997 or even in use? (2) Are there sample scene files for tachyon a la povray? I see many such scenes on the afore mentioned website. (3) Can povray scene files be converted to tachyon format? (4) Was the chess scene in Yi Qiang's demo of dSage (http:// www.msri.org/communications/vmath/VMathVideos/VideoInfo/2988/show_video) made using tachyon or povray? TIA, A.
