I'm working a new old-fashioned low poly 3D modelling (direct and procedural), animation (4D!) and rendering (Gouraud + Phong) software with a focus on #lowpoly and #retrocgi

I'm calling it ... " Ancient 4D "

... it might take a while. Follow along to watch it grow !

This issue is notable for an Atari BASIC program, written by Tom Hudson, that displays 3D graphics. Two years later, Hudson would release Cyber Studio CAD-3D for Atari ST, and a few years after that, it was reborn as 3D Studio for DOS, and finally, the ubiquitous 3DS MAX.

Just stumbled upon this ancient PcPersective article on real-time ray tracing.. In 2008. :)
pcper.com/2008/06/ray-...
It details the story of nine students (Karim, Wussie, Rick, Jan, Rutger, Trevor, Mathijs, Roel, Wilco) who worked in various roles on CPU-ray traced games using the Arauna engine.
