About YASRT:
YASRT is a raytracer. It stands for Yet Another Simple RayTracer. When more features will be available, its name will probably change to Yet Another Set of Rendering Tools.
YASRT is a raytracing program. It uses the raytracing algorithm to generate realistic pictures from textual descriptions of three-dimensional scenes. It uses the metaphor of photography to achieve this goal. The photographer (the user of the program) uses a camera (the program) to shoot (render) photographs (two-dimensional pictures) of the surrounding world (text description of a three-dimensional scene).
By using advanced raytracing techniques, YASRT can simulate realistic optical phenomena: reflection (objects can be reflected in mirrors), refraction (object can be seen through other transparent objects), shadows are cast when the light is blocked by one or more objects, objects have different surface properties, etc.
YASRT is a program taking one or more text files (ASCII files) for input and generates a picture (binary file) of the scene described in those files. A description language allows artists to describe the scene to be rendered. Alternatively, it is possible to use different tools to export scenes from different 3D authoring tools.
