I have demoed a Julia and Terrain raytracer which were both kindly contributed by David Lenaerts. I only showed the demos since I would have been running out [...]

As you might know I have done a couple of different tools for PixelBender already. When I switched to Linux a while ago I had to discover that there is no compiler for PixelBender [...]
