X3 Ray Trace

[Allen Brown]

Don't believe the initial time estimates given to you by the ray tracer. It almost always overestimates the time at the beginning, sometimes by an extraordinary amount.

I started a high end raytrace about 2 hours ago. The initial estimate was 34 hours to completion. Now that I'm 2 hours into it, it says I have 11 hours to completion. I bet it's done in less than 6. But no, Pat, Pheobe is not going to raytrace anywhere near the speeds of Thea, but I think She'll will beat POV.

I mostly got the materials fixed, but for the life of me, I can't get the stove to raytrace as anything but black.

Anyways, here's a preview: By the way, it looks a lot better than the jpeg attached here, it loses a lot from the compression.
