Rayshade-M is a specially adapted version of rayshade which takes
advantage of the capabilities that the Macintosh range of computers
offers. This enhanced version allows the user to construct and render
scenes with greater ease through visual feedback from a built-in
object editor. This makes ray tracing more accessible and less time
consuming. Additionally rayshade-M can be used in conjunction with
other versions since it reads and writes compatible script files.
Rayshade-M requires a Macintosh fitted with a maths co-processor,
32-bit colour QuickDraw, a 13-inch (640x480) monitor and preferably 8
Megabytes of free RAM. Images are stored internally at 24-bit colours.
If the monitor is not capable of supporting this many colours, then a
best match picture is displayed. Images are saved in PICT format which
enables rendered scenes to be used in other Macintosh applications
such as word-processors, art-programs etc.
