Space, the graphic frontier.  These  are  the  voyages of Ragnar and his ray
tracers.

Sometimes a mistake can lead to some interesting  results. A couple of years
back I was working on a maze in  Imagine.  I already had a 2D picture of one
(a screendump  from  another  program)  so  I  just  loaded it into Imagine,
converted it to an object and  extruded  it.  After a bit of tinkering and a
couple of test renders I finally  realized  that  I was working in the front
view window, which meant that I had  the  whole  maze standing on end rather
than lying flat as intended.  After  going  through  all the wall objects to
rotate them I did another test render, closely followed by a double take.
It took just a few  seconds  to  realize  that  I  had given each object the
correct alignment but forgotten to  adjust  their  positions, so rather than
lying side by side they were kind of  standing  on top of each other! Before
correcting the error, I had another  look  at the test render and found that
it looked kind of cool, so I did another full render - this one.

A little side note: The maze layout  has  been  around even longer than I've
had an Amiga. It was first put together  for a game on a different computer.
To find out which one, have a look in the  upper right corner and you'll see
part of its logo!
