What is Rayshade-M?

Rayshade is a program for creating ray-traced images. It reads a description of a scene to be rendered and produces a colour image corresponding to the description. Rayshade was designed to make it easy to create nice pictures. It was also meant to be flexible, easy to modify, and relatively fast. 

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.
