software developed by Carsten Fuchs for the Commodore Amiga. It was later renamed Monzoom.
The first Bookware release was 1989, and contained a book and a floppy disk. The book was the manual and had some tutorials explaining how a raytracer works. The Floppy contained the software with some models and examples.
Carsten Fuchs extended the software with a more advanced modeler and an animation module in 1992 the Reflections-Animator.
As of version 4.3, in 1998, Amiga Reflections was renamed Monzoom or Monzoom 3D and distributed by Oberland Computer.
Monzoom Pro was available on CD with the March/April 2008 issue of the German print magazine Amiga Future. Monzoom also became available for PC as Shareware.
