Rayshade Rayshade is a system for generating ray-traced images. Rayshade's main function is to read a multi-line ASCII file describing a scene to be rendered and produce a file containing the ray traced image. This is the program often used by universities for teaching ray-tracing and as a result, it is often also used for research on rendering and object generation. Because of its extensibility, there are a large number of user-contributed additions and modifications to the base renderer. This means that many incredible images and ideas saw first "light" under Rayshade.
