TracerBlender v1.1.0 released! This tool for Blender to create scenes for the MSX BASIC ray tracer now provides support to let tracer.bas render directly to a true color image file, with custom resolution. You can actually render 4K backgrounds in BASIC!
And instead of dying of old age while waiting for your MSX to complete this task, let your modern PC do the work, using GW-BASIC on bare metal or VM, for a massive speed boost!
Back in the early 90's I was flabbergasted by tracer.bas, a simple ray tracer for the #msx, written in pure BASIC.
Now, some thirty years later, I'm introducing TracerBlender! An extension for Blender to make it very easy to set up a 3D scene and materials for this ray tracer, with real-time preview.
Then, with one click, generate an all-on-one BASIC program, ready to run on any #msx2 (or emulator), to render your scene!
