Opticks is an old 3D package. there are two version, the link goes to the older 1.0.
in the zone is an updated version (no new version string):
Opticks2-3D.package.BS1.zip

I'm not able to start some parts of this program - "Build Your World".
tested different setups WB/Kick 1.2/1.3/3.0 OCS/ECS - nothing.

I only get a "flash" after click on "build your world".
with the 2nd version (the one in the zone) I cannot even start the "Generate Image ..." part.
snoopdos did not help here.

you can boot the disks, no need to install.
with the version in the zone, use df0 and df1.

in the main window, click on "Working Scene Name" and load a scene file,
done so, click on "Build your world ..." or "Generate Image ...".

2nd image shows the quad view of the Build part.
if you see this, tell me how you did that

can anyone try to make it work?

#1) It does work on my WB/Kick 3.1 VideoToaster setup.
(030/882 AGA 8 MB Chip 128M Z3 Fast)

#2) the real troublemaker is the PAL mode, it does work only in NTSC. now it does run on WB/Kick 1.3 too.
I should set this as default for the emulator.

#3) example scene rendered in 1280x720 - 24 bit tga. downsized and color reduced.
not so bad, i think.
