To make sense of blogs, you have to think about the news and who makes it. We'll look at news in the 20th vs. the 21st century to make our point.

Syntopia » Structure Synth Updated november 17th, 2011 Structure Synth has quite flexible support for exporting geometry to third-party raytracers, but even though I’ve tried to make it as simple as possible, the Template Export system can be difficult to use. It requires knowledge of the scene description format used by the target raytracer, and of the XML format used by the templates in Structure Synth. Besides that, exporting and importing can be slow when dealing with complicated geometry. So I decided to implement a simple raytracer inside Structure Synth. The first version of the raytracer is available now in SVN, and will be part of the next Structure Synth release. The raytracer has a few settings which can be controlled by issuing ‘set’ commands in the EisenScript. The following is a list of commands with their default values given as argument: set raytracer::light [0.2,0.4,0.5] Sets the position of a light in the scene. set raytracer::shadows true This allows you to toggle hard shadows on or off.
