Raytracing Image Gallery
All of the pictures on this page were generated with the Persistence of Vision raytracing program (POV-Ray). This is a freeware program designed for the generation of raytraced graphics. It does not have a fancy user interface; rather, images are generated from text files that describe the scene. Despite this, the program can generate some spectacular output, at any resolution, including partially transpatent polyhedra. Click on any of the links below to see additional images of the structure.
