Advanced Rendering Toolkit
Status
The current state of the various ART sub-systems.
Currently ART is under development. Therefore a lot of things are
not polished or downright ugly. Documentation is still sparse. Here is
a not particularly detailed list of the current status.
- Core
- Stable, extensive, but not yet complete. Ready for prime time.
- Shapes
- Quadrics - fairly complete. General quadric class missing.
Quartics - Torus OK. General quartic class missing.
Polygons - should be optimized
NURBS - in the process of being integrated
- Raytracer
- Stable. Some small improvements still necessary, but ready for prime
time.
- Path Tracer
- First implementation, needs a lot more attention.
- Textures
- First implementation that needs some improvements.
Solid Textures - stable structure, in need of more texture
primitives.
- Surfaces
- API stable, needs thorough code revision to verify existing models.
- Radiosity
- Needs a more user-friendly interface.
- Image Library
- Cleaned up, ready for prime time, will be extended as needed.
