New Topic/Question
Reply
Okay, so for about two months now I've been working on a raytracer. So far I have been calling it 'raymond', and I like that name, the only problem is that given that it's a people-name, I feel like it would be hard to find (by googling) - seeing as there are probably millions of instances of it on the web.
So, any suggestions? I'm nearing my first public release (at which point I will be open-sourcing it)... so I need to think up something, or it's just staying "raymond"

Nice, I like SunRay. And yes, it's all about the light 
Hmm.... LightTracer's not bad either.

How about Baldr, Norse god of light/beauty (according to wikipedia). The light part is what you should focus on.

@Shane: I like the brevity of that name... . . .
@BetaWar: I like that idea, and that name, but it leaves me in the same predicament I am currently in, which is that it doesn't lend itself to google searches.
@John: That's funny.. RabbitRays. And this could be the mascot:
Also, slightly related, I'd like to dump these renders here, in case anyone's wondering how far along I am...

The 2nd pic doesn't seem right. The small ball, partially obfuscated by the larger one, has a straight shadow on it, but it's behind a round object. Also, the line is too blatant, seems like it would be diffused like the horizon shadow is. Another thing, the source and distance of the light is different on both spheres. According to the angles, the light source should be visible in the picture.
Sorry for critiquing without invitation, but thought it may be beneficial to you.
