MAW.TXT
   The Planet Maw Project.  To render this scene, you need the files MAW.PI,
Alexander Enzemann's 'Polyray' ray tracer ( I used version 1.7, but versions
1.5 and newer should work), and the file SANDH.TGA, which is a height field.
Rendering this to 'final' quality (adaptive antialias option '2', threshold   
of 0.2, resolution 640x480) took over twelve hours on a 486dx50 in a DOS 
window under OS/2 Warp 3.0.   I used my favorite modeller to create this 
scene:  graph paper.
   I'm uploading this file, MAW.PI, SANDH.TGA and a final output image, 
MAW.JPG together.  If SANDH.TGA gets lost, or if, like me, you see that
the 'mountains' in the background aren't visible and the foreground land is 
too flat, try making a 320x320 greyscale image of any sand texture; that's 
what I used originally and it gave the land more 'character'.
======================================
Who is this guy?

   I'm Mark C. Stout, a Navy communications technician stationed on Misawa
Airbase, in Northern Japan.  In about six weeks I'll be leaving the service 
for the San Fransisco Bay Area, where I expect to be troubleshooting PC's
and hope to eventually be doing this 'graphics thing' for a living, though
so far the profit side of it has eluded me.
   Some of my previous efforts appear on my Web page on TGA, at 
http://www.tgax.com/users/marks/marks.htm .  
   My address till the first week of October is:
   
   CTR2 Mark C. Stout
   PSC 76 Box 3479
   APO, AP 96319-3479
   USA
   Phone:  011-81-3117-62-9549

   My 'permanent' address, till I find a home in California, is:

   Mark C. Stout

   The one address that won't change is e-mail:  mcstout@ibm.net
but there will be a five-week or so gap starting the last week of September
while my PC is in shipping.
   Whew!
