Amiga Raytracing Society

Hi guys,

The entries were both amazing. I couldn't pick a favourite myself but I didn't expect a perfect tie like that

The competition will be promoted *much* more next time

You can now watch the Amiga Raytracing Course from our handy new player -> https://www.amigaraytracers.com/webcourse/go.php You can browse episodes from the dropdown menu, but also you can view the table of contents for the episode and click entries in the list to jump straight to that topic - handy...

Great tutorials so far. Here's my latest act of vandalism as part of our homework

Here's what I'm thinking: https://www.amigaraytracers.com/gallery/gallery.php This is implemented with a simple sqlite database table. Submit button is disabled (because submission doesn't work yet). Thumbnail images need only be 20Kb and a full screengrab is < 100Kb. We could have clickable images ...

A plugin was developed for this purpose, but abandoned since and not maintained. A pity. I'll make a gallery page that displays submitted images of rendered objects. A download link for the object/scene at aminet will be included. Members of this forum could have access to a separate page where subm...

That sounds realistic to me.

So yes, I think categories for now

That could work. I think personally the objects should be submitted to aminet and the post here should have a thumbnail with the link. If the BBS software supports thumbnails for posts (just in the objects section) it would make navigation very quick. Otherwise, I could put together a gallery from t...

HOL is on abime.net. It's a database frontend to find what you're looking for (games, in that case) http://hol.abime.net/ aminet.net sounds good actually. No point in splitting the effort. They have over 500 3D objects and all that's missing in terms of ease of use is a screenshot for each entry (at...

Thanks walkero & muadib. I need to be more ambitious then I could of course emulate, for the time being.

Hi Muadib,

There might be something better. I'm not sure what, but FTP might suit. Or even something fancy like HOL but for 3D objects which can be easily searched by date, title, author etc.

That's all my brain has to offer at this time :~)
