My Spiral Fixation

These fractal spirals were created with Ultrafractal. The images are a small sampling of fractal renderings that were incorporated into my first animated fractal video.

POVRay Animation: Spinning Spirals (2002)

As I’ve noted before, the Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POVRay) is quite exceptional at visualizing mathematical functions. This raytraced, kaleidoscopic animation was a test of a DOS utility that I wrote that would generate scripts for rendering spirals. If interested, you can download the program here.

POVRay Animation: The Groovy Gray Rocker (2006)

The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POVRay) is a fantastic vehicle for visualizing mathematical functions. If you’re not familiar with raytracers, you should definitely check it out. POVRay enables you to render three-dimensional images based on objects that you describe using a simple scripting language.

This animation was a fun experiment that explored POVRay’s sine function and includes some funky sound effects.

POVRay Animation: The Really Cool Red Tunnel (2002)

This Persistence of Vision (POVRay) animation was designed to loop indefinitely, but only a single loop is played here. Rendered on a 386DX clone, this was my first fully realized raytraced animation – complete with audio.

You’re looking at history folks!

Download: DOS Programs

In the waning days of MSDOS, I wrote a few utility programs in the hopes of becoming a shareware millionaire. These programs were primarily script generators for the DKB/POVRay (www.povray.org) and Vivid raytracers.

Needless to say, I’m not a millionaire. Nor thousandaire. Nor even a hundredaire. So that didn’t work out very well. [insert sad face here]

Be that as it may, if you’re into collecting obsolete programs, for whatever reasons, feel free to download them here:
