If anyone is interested in learning how ray tracing works or wants an 
excuse to learn Smalltalk, I've written a (very) simplistic ray tracer 
in Smalltalk and made the code freely available.  Don't expect anything 
dramatic - this version isn't even as powerful as DKBTrace was.  My 
purpose in writing it was to see how ray tracing would look in a pure 
object oriented language, to help teach some techniques in Smalltalk, 
and to give me something fun to write rather than business applications.

You can see a better description of it on my blog:

To try it out, you'll need to get VisualWorks Smalltalk Non-commercial 
(free for non-commercial use).

If you have any questions about it, feel free to e-mail me at

Have fun - that's what it's all about.
