cause you don't really need the engine source and all you want is =
bitmap(?) files, why not use some executable ray tracer to do the job. =
You can propably download one from the web.
I found POV-ray (rendering engine for Windows 3.x) some time ago. Here's =
what it's documentation tells about it:

cool, eh? see http://www.povray.org for downloads and more
I haven't needed it almost att all, but it should be pretty much easy to =
use. I haven't figured out how to save images, but one way could be =
using f.ex. Paint Shop Pro's image capturing if there isn't easier way.
