This applet is a scene file viewer in Java. It was origianlly ported from a CS123 final project, but has undergone many major changes, and improvements. It is still a work in progress. See The cs123 homepage for more information about graphics, and raytracers, and the final raytracer project and scene file format. Also, please see the Ray Tracer, if you would like to get a full 3D rendering (with shadows, texturemaps, and/or reflections).

Your browser does not support java applets. Please use a newer browser, such as Netscape 3+ or IE 3+ or Hotjava.

So you might be wondering how to use this applet. There is a location box where you type the URL of the scenefile which you want it to render. Then you set up the parameters (or leave the defaults) and hit the big render button.

So, for example, if you wanted to render the 4-ball image, you might enter scenes/mirror_test.sc into the location line and press Render.

Here is a listing of scenefiles available from this server:

scenes/all_cheese.sc

scenes/all_objects.sc

scenes/cam_master.sc

scenes/cheese_test.sc

scenes/chess_master.sc

scenes/cone_test.sc
