Polyray - an algebraic input ray tracing program
Copyright (c) 1993 Alexander Enzmann
Version 1.6a
All Rights Reserved

Polyray is a combination of an extensive set of modelling primitives together
with a comprehensive renderer. Models are specified in an ASCII file, which
are then parsed, and subsequently rendered. An IBM-AT or compatible is the
only platform currently supported. An 80386/80387 combination, or 80486 CPU
plus at least 2Mb of RAM is required.

Polyray provides a number of distinct features, the most important of which
are the freedom of use of expressions in the modelling file and the ability
to render very complex mathematical surfaces.

There are three archives necessary: plydoc.zip, plydat.zip, and plyexe.zip.
These contain the documents for Polyray, a set of data files, and the
executable.

See the file "quickref.txt", or "polyray.doc" for details on the command
line options and data file syntax.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
