About:
The Pure Perl RayCaster is a small simple ray-casting application written completely in Perl without using OpenGL or any other 3D API library. For the GUI, it uses wxPerl. It can load a 3D object from a file (in RAW format), display the object in wireframe perspective view, allow you to orbit and zoom your camera, and produce a user defined size ray casting image of the current view in a predefined color theme, with or without smooth shading. It is well suited for educational purposes, in order to study, understand, tweak, and try well known fundamental 3D computer graphics techniques.
