Here's an image for the history books. In "The Early History of
POV-Ray", I wrote that I started in raytracing when I downloaded the C
code for a raytracer for Unix from the Internet and ported it to the
Amiga. I then added support for color.
Here, my friends, is the first color raytraced image I ever produced.
This picture pre-dates POV-Ray and even DKBTrace. It was the image that
inspired me to do better and write DKBTrace in the first place.
Enjoy

Here's a slightly larger version that shows the AmigaDOS screen behind.

Oh, this is brilliant! The typical Amiga mood indeed. It certainly shows
the capabilities of the machine at that time.
Thanks for this image, David, especially as the genesis of what we are
working with now.
