DKBTrace
DKBTrace was a graphical ray tracing program which was the forerunner of POV-Ray. It had no GUI and ran via the command line. It featured quadric shapes (spheres, ellipsoids, planes, etc), constructive solid geometry (intersection, difference, union), and procedural textures like wood and marble. It was written for UNIX by David K. Buck (1986) and Aaron Collins. The last version (DKBTrace 2.12) was built in 1989.
