Goals:
![]() | Give the customer (the world) what they want |
Features:
![]() | Comprehensive implementation of special relativity (Lorentz transformation use complex quaternions) | ||
![]() | Comprehensive implementation of the complete Reissner-Nordström geometry, including wormhole and white hole connections to successive universes | ||
![]() | General relativistic volume rendering | ||
![]() | Comprehensive implementation of the general relativistic motion of the observer, and of arbitrary numbers of objects moving in the geometry | ||
![]() | Interactive control of the motion of the observer and of numerous aspects of the scene | ||
![]() | Bison Fightpath Interpreter allows total control of every aspect of the scene and flightpath | ||
![]() | Able to render to arbitrary single- or multi-piped graphics configurations | ||
![]() | "Aggressive memory management" option allows complex scenes to be rendered with limited memory | ||
![]() | Numerous accelerations, fast algorithms, and graphic refinements to achieve seamless high-quality rendering while maintaining maximum speed (for example, the volume-rendering uses randomly staggered meshes to reduce artefacts associated with regular meshes) |
To do:
![]() | Needed improvements: graphics abstraction layer; higher quality volume-rendering; ray-tracing bundles from rigid objects to quadratic not linear order | |
![]() | Implement Kerr-Newmann | |
![]() | Drop a star (e.g. red giant) into BH | |
![]() | Gravitational waves to linear order | |
![]() | Hawking radiation | |
![]() | Reflecting/scattering surfaces (general relativistic, of course) | |
![]() | Make it writable by an astrophysicist | |
![]() | Make it usable by a 10 year old |
