<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been working on a raytracing library during
the last few months. Last week I was able to integrate it into the ioquake3
source code. This allows for switching between traditional rasterization and
raytracing using a cvar. There are also some debug modes specific to the
raytracing-mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've posted two videos at YouTube showing Elite
Force Raytraced, which is based on Thilo Schulz's excellent Elite Force patch
for ioquake3.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 1st video focuses on raytraced reflections and
other changes of the look: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 2nd video is basically a record of a bot
deathmatch: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I intend to release this code soon, but I plan to
take some more time to polish it some more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Comments are appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keep up the good work,
ioquake3-community!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
